Pangloss, the beliefs you cite are hardly worth passing along to children, no one should argue that. It becomes a stickier matter when someone dictates to you what beliefs you should pass along to your children. If the balance of power were different would you want to be compelled by others to pass along:
Quote:
"Niggers are lazy and inferior." "Jews are stingy and control all the banks." "People who deny God are going to Hell." "Women should submit to their husbands." "Our faith is the ONLY true faith, and if you reject it, you too will burn in Hell.
I don't think so. As I stated earlier, you should feel compelled to start passing your beliefs along and no one should stop you from mounting a public awareness campaign that the racist beliefs you cited are pure bollocks. Pure, sweaty bollocks at that.
