Man, is it ageism week on your blog? That concern-trolling asshole should stop being so condescending. Someone’s not always “more impressionable” just because they’re not 18 years old. I was a well-read atheist as a 15-year-old, and hearing different spiritual views never caused me any harm. Contrary to what people think, plenty of kids are rational, intelligent and can think for themselves. They don’t need a self-appointed moral guardian to shield the from the reality of differences in belief.
Also, cont. It seems to me less like they’re concerned about “the poor ignorant children who don’t know any better” and more like they’re terrified that someone might learn about a belief they disapprove of and choose to believe in it.
Totally agree, anon. Its unfortunate.
