healthy kids here for R&R and religious indoctrination
It's the religious indoctrination that bothers me. I agree with Prof
Dawkins, it's child abuse of the worst kind.


I agree, depending on the religion.


No, all religions depend upon indoctrination of the young to sustain their
ill-gotten incomes....across the boards.

They're all doing it....to line their pockets at the expense of the very
gullible or hopeless.





Well, I have to disagree with that. I was raised in a religious
household, and no one in "the clergy" ever put any pressure on me to do
anything financial other than to be charitable, and the charity was not
specified. Now, if I wanted to become a "member" of the "local" of the
religious organization, there were dues and fees, but those were
voluntary...if you want to be in a "club," you pay the dues.

Now, I won't deny there are religions that do exactly as you say.
