Nightmare:
I want to make it clear that I'm not attacking you. I'm sorry if my posts come across that way. They're honestly not meant to be. I say this because your posts seem a bit aggressive to me. If that's not the case...well, I'm glad.
I mentioned indoctrination of youth because that's the point I thought XUJHAN, not you, was making. I thought you had misinterpreted his point and was trying to clarify, since he hadn't been on to do so himself. Now you've heard a clarification of his point from him, and can judge if mine was a good interpretation.
And I don't presume to know what you were thinking exactly. I had gotten the general sense from posts you have made in other threads that you're not in favour. But I wasn't talking about you specifically in my comment, either. It wasn't so much a personal comment as a general statement about the atmosphere of the discussion.

Xujhan:
I understand that you don't agree with "giving" children a religion from a very young age, but then why is your response to promote atheism? Why not promote free-thinking instead? Why not tell people you're engaged in the debate with to evaluate their beliefs and see if they really fit?
