A little bit of knowledge

[eatheiun]

When I first became an atheist I had the habit of spewing underdigested infomation all over those that were closest to me. I've since learned that that came from a place of immaturity. It's contradictory to foist beliefs upon others when the belief you hold hopes to free people of such foisting. I need to digest and test the information that lands on my plate, and convert it from belief to fact or fiction. I believe in having open debates and subjecting ideas to higher criticism. I need to take it to the public in as much a non-combative manner as is possible.

I can't respect their beliefs, but I also can't expect
them to choose me as a spigot of information.

Should society allow irrational beliefs to be taught to children as absolute truth?
