I would say that parents should teach their children anything that's known to be factually true -- like "that's a bluebird" or "that's a bald eagle." Or they could teach children that there are such things as religious beliefs. But to teach children that it is a fact that there is one god or that God created the world in six days, that is child abuse.
That's Richard Dawkins, author of The God Delusion, making atheists cringe and embarrassed once again.
I need to read this book!!! I love ppl who are so radical and bizarre they make the other radicals look stupid and boring. God why can't there be even a modicum of actual balance in fanatics... sheesh
