    We can only access the Abstract, but I found it very interesting.

    Interesting. I've seen few studies comparing religious/secular child raising, and a complicating factor is the large number of "in between"; children who get some religious instruction but whose families live their lives secular (like a lot of secular Jews).

    You find interesting stuff.

    This is true, i was raised in a secular household and even as a very small child when my uncle and aunt would talk about angels it would freak me out and set off my bullshit detector.

    Wow, kids that are trained to believe nonsense... believe nonsense. Who would have thunk it.

    Or maybe we should be charitable and say they have vivid imaginations?

    At last, a theory for why Denny believes the Warren Report.

    No, a vivid imagination is not the same as believing nonsense. A person can have a vivid imagination and write novels, knowing that they are "fake", that the people and scenes are imaginary. That's not the same as believing that some imaginary old white dude with a beard wants you to keep women from getting birth control.

    Geez, you make the dumbest posts on the board. Same old lies all the time. I imagine even you could count the old white dudes that want to keep women from get birth control. There are a few that do not want to pay for them, as is their right, but couldn't give a shit less if you do.

    If I am not mistaken, you are. But all 5 can read. Check your count.

    MarAzul might sound more intelligent if he read the posts he's responding to.

    The "old white man who does not want women to have birth control" was clearly a reference to how some people see god.

    But by all means use your imagination and mix up fact and fiction...

    Really? Well I am not sure how you will get to the mark.
    Jesus cares? Naw! I can't think of a place or time he said a word on the subject..
    More lies perhaps?

    Marzul, you play Christianity for all its angles. In your first week on this board you were vicariously enjoying a future of killing all Muslims on Earth. Weeks later you were hiding behind the skirts of compassionate Christianity. On abortion, you are Religious Right.

    So I pointed this out months ago, and you ambiguously said you weren't that kind. Guessing, I got the impression that you are eclectic, not religious. Just a garden-variety former killer, or informer on unions, or whatever your past is.

    What the hell are you?

    The study is worthless, as are the conclusions they draw from it.

    They did not survey secular children who have been exposed to religion, possibly attending church(es) regularly as I was brought up, nor did they survey religious children who have not been exposed to church or secular school.

    No one in his right mind would fall for those stories. Snow White voluntarily moved out of her home sleeping with 7 dwarfs? You must take me for a fool.

    The government says that if a drawing of Joe Camel is on billboards, it will cause children to smoke.

    What if it's the government who are the children?

    I thought the problem was that Joe's nose was a penis and his cheeks balls?
