She'll be eaten by a semi-literate dingo.

I'm in a bit of a mood today, and the OP is pissing me off. Why should someone get to fill some poor child's head with vicious, harmful bull$#'! that will leave it with years of trauma? If you did that to someone else's kid you'd be thrown in prison.

A lot of religions are harmful and spiteful, and only perpetuate themselves by obliging their adherents to breed and brainwash their children into the religion. Sod that. Raise the kids with an open view and allow them to choose when they are adults. Somehow.

I know it is socially very dangerous to say what people can and cannot teach their children, but I think we need to make some kind of limits.

If the bible were brought before censors nowadays it would be rated MA(V) 18+. And yet we let people shove this down the throats of children.
