In a convoluted manner you are suggesting that thinking is the culprit in these circumstances and the child should be indoctrinated before he/she is capable of rational thought.. Hitler said the same thing as do the churches saying, "Give me your pre-seven year-olds and I'll give you an unquestioning soldier for the cause.".. These youngsters already know you lied to them about Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny so why should this fairy-tale have any validity(??) Some of the filtrate also was about a Christian Ethic which actually has gone the way that Common Sense did by not being too common.. His Sermon on the Mount died with Him.. On a daily basis kids hear derogatory/discriminating/hate messages at home, school and the media from these same sanctimonious legions who make a hat change on Sundays.. Sous Ami Mon Ami:
