The problem with Islam

[wufwugy]

The crime is exposing the child to he idea. Not havong the idea. There's a difference.

So then it's speech-of-thought crime.

I dunno, you redcoats never did get onto this whole free speech thing. It's good stuff. I suggest appropriation.

But really, if exposure of "bad" ideas is illegal, we'll find ourselves pretty quickly in the kind of society few of us wanna live in.

I don't understand what the thought crime is? If you kept deliberately exposing your young children to something you knew was likely to lead to delusions and psychosis you'd probably be dealing with social.services before long.

Some delusion is valuable. Stark cold rationality is not the best choice for everyone. One of the central features of religion is that it gives people the tools and frame of mind to keep at it. To have faith in a good result without consideration for the position you're in, sometimes that's what's needed.

Why do you think religion pops up so often and has stuck around for so long?
