    We were all banned from listening/learning about any religious nonsense in our house and at the schools we attended....So we actually grew up quite normal and hated no one but the greedy.... :)

    1. wonder who decided what was "religious nonsense"


    2. censoring out religion doesn't always work. The student in the video below tells an entertaining story of how as children they had it drummed into them that once people die they are worm food, period, and that anyone who told them about god or afterlife was talking rubbish.

    All religions are just an ancient means of controlling the ignorant uneducated masses of populations from around the world.....
    if you were a non believer you were killed to cleanse your soul ........such a wonderful way of teaching the ignorant

    1. "All [ALL?] religions are just an ancient means of controlling the ignorant uneducated masses of populations from around the world....." ermm Mormonism, to quote just one example, is not ancient and some followers are university graduates , no?

    2. "if you were a non believer you were killed to cleanse your soul" >>> okay, and they burnt you alive at the stake, but that was official practice only in the Catholic church, AND they gave that up long ago. Agree?

    "there is some life form that will eat our carcasses" 

    1. you're right again.

    2. observation shows that nature has solutions for problems in nature. For many a contemplative mind, in that itself, there's ample food for thought 

    3. Anyway, the guy in the video acknowledges the wormfood bit, but wonders whether that really is the end of it all

    I would be disappointed but you can't control your children. Should mention that I have no children of my own.
