My Son Was Taught to Believe in Jesus by His Mother -- How Do I Help Him Become a Free Thinker?
Mon Jul 20, 2009
- Well Simba, considering *I* was raised in a Catholic household, and had 12 years of indoctrination, I whole-heartedly believe that you CAN be a free-thinker raised in a similar environment. The key is not to close doors (such as religious feeling or expression), but to have him open to EVERYTHING.

- While a non-practicing Catholic, I do not believe him simply learning about Jesus is a bad thing in and of itself. In fact, the Bible contains lots of lessons that are universal; they're not all just religious hokey-pokey. If nothing else, it's a great book of history.

- Do the Republicans have a plan to "showcase" or do they just want to say NO? I mean this seriously. I have not heard a single Republican offer any alternate plans so why give them the airtime? If you want to present their health care plan, please do so right here, right now.

- No, it's no Obama's fault, any more than it is any other member of Congress' fault for voting for that abortion called TARP. At the same time, I don't believe this one is completley Bush, either, because I honestly don't give him credit to be smart enough to do this himself.
