Whoever controls those 14,000 hours controls our children's worldview," he said, citing Charles Francis Potter, a signer of the Humanist Manifesto. He wrote, "What can theistic Sunday school meeting for an hour once a week do to stem the tide of a five day program of humanist teaching?"

Exactly! It is like handing a kid a water pistol and saying, "Go fight that raging forest fire!"

I taught Sunday School. You can easily undo it. In the first place, schools don't teach humanism non-stop throughout the day. Instead, here and there, there may be a few bad teachers that try to influence but the greatest problem is actually peer pressure, ie: to do drugs, sex, etc. Peer pressure is overcome by reinforcing God's principles in the Sunday School class and it WORKS.

The Romans tried to kill us all, but ended up with a Christian Emperor instead.

There is power in faith and prayer, and God's Spirit is at work everywhere in the world.
