I look at a religious adult and I don’t mind it. It’s understandable. As you grow, you make decisions for yourself. You take a good look at God and you decide whether or not it’s a load of bullshit. In my opinion, it’s a load of bullshit. But if you’ve decided that it isn’t, that this world is so much more than meets the eye, then that’s your opinion, and the world would be a boring place without it.
My problem is the children. There’s just way too many households that are forcing our children into their parents religion. And its not just religion, it’s morals, it’s the view of the world. And I don’t believe that’s right. I think that children need the choice; they need to be able to make that decision that’s clearly going to change their entire lives. I think that they deserve that right as human beings, that they shouldn’t be brainwashed into thinking the way their parents do.
I was one of the lucky children. I took a hard look at God (because, throughout my entire life, I’ve always had a logical, even scientifically based view of things) and I realized that it just didn’t make sense. It was that simple, in my point of view, and I decided to go against it. Or, ignore it completely.
But, as I said, I was lucky. Most kids don’t feel that way; they believe their parents, the primary care holders of them. They assume their right because they are the ones who’ve raised them, who’ve looked out for them, and will never stop doing so. Most of those kids will never get the chance to see the world in through another person’s eyes. They become blinded, narrow minded. And I think that’s horrible.
These aren’t just your children. I hate to sound like some sort of hippie, but they’re the children of the world. They’re the next generation of the entire world. Maybe this is why humans have ceased to evolve spiritually.
