These are the points I find objectionable in rayww's post..
"Religion is there as a guide and a light especially to steer children to right choices while they are teachable. Science is too far behind religion to be able to do that. Athiesm is a whiteout....
....An Athiest does not see beyond the whiteout. A person of faith does. "
I find this bad as it seems to make out that my parents did a worse job of bringing me up, in a scientific household, than they would have done in a religious household. I have enough experience of life to know this is simply not true.
I hoped to be able to explain how a religious setting (a church and a minister) once lead me to a bad choice in my life, but I am not allowed to do this. (I can now understand your frustrations!!).I do not think any one way is better than anyother, it is all down to personal choice and experience. What works for one person does not always work for another.
And while i am trying to find my way it is most un-helpful to me to be told such things.Nikki
