But there we differ markedly; I do not believe any society has the right to lie to their children. Telling children there is real evidence for any God or doctrine is a lie.
Wait a minute! Are you claiming the right to step in and order parents to teach their children your ideology instead of their own?
No; I claim no public institution has the right to teach anyone any religious doctrine as fact.
To restrict what parents tell their children is asinine.
I also do not believe in teaching anyone as fact any subject whether politics, religion or the big bang.
It is a grave injustice to people not to have the ability to make up their own minds. I believe you teach what the evidence for your position and nothing else. I also believe you should teach people that there is no shame in not knowing something; lack of knowledge only means humanity can advance.
Truth is only learned when one has the freedom to find out. For example did you know Newtons laws are wrong?
Einsteins theories prove them wrong but they are close enough that engineers still use them for they are simpler.
Knowledge seems to be like a never ending road. Once one aspect is grasped there is a new vista opened up. If we were to force people to adopt anything as the ultimate truth we would bar the road of progress and in my opinion we need a lot of progress!
