[quote]And I most certainly do my best to teach my kid how to think for herself. I want her to have the proper tools to get through [i]this[/i] life as I'm sure you do for your kids.[/quote]She'd better get the right tools as that's the only life she'll get.[quote]I just believe that it is also my duty to impart to her the most important tool that anyone can have in this life and that is a faith in the Great Maker. She can always reject it later if she decides to do that.[/quote]I thought the most important tool was a free and open mind aka the capacity to think by oneself.[quote]I find it so staggeringly obvious that faith in God does make a difference in this life that it floors me when you say it doesn't. Do you really believe that?[/quote]I DO. I just don't see anything faith brings that humanism doesn't bring.[quote]For instance, I've heard from people who work in hospitals some of whom are religious and some who aren't that they've seen patients with faith do far better than those who don't. You don't even need to believe God exists to acknowledge that the act of faith is a powerful thing in this life.[/quote]Sorry but studies have shown the total lack of effect of prayers and such on ill people.
