Can't let the godless indoctrination slip, otherwise, these kids might grow up to think for themselves.

Lack of indoctrination is indoctrination? Black is white, white is black, doublethink rules.

Do you understand? A religious vacuum is **IMPOSSIBLE**! A school must choose godless or God-centered. Neither is religiously neutral in content or consequences.

Sort of the "If you're not with me you're against me" concept? No, godless is religiously neutral in that it promotes no religion over another, or over no religion, nor should it denigrate religion. God-centered is specific not only to individual religions, but to individual sects within those religions. One sect's "God-centered" is another sect's "godless."

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Godlessness is a religion ( although not formally incorporated into a church). Why?

Answer: A godless worldview is based on religious belief just as much as a God-centered one. Why? Because the existence or non-existence of God can not be proven.

So?...When government schools promote a godless worldview they are not being neutral to the many God-centered sects. No, indeed! Instead they are promoting the religious belief of godlessness and teaching children to think godlessly.

A religious vacuum is impossible and it is impossible to have a religiously neutral school.

Solution: We must begin the process of getting government out of the education business.
