To: Tired of Taxes
From another article:

Newdow denied an Associated Press report that he is raising the girl as an atheist, adding that he reads her Bible stories.

"I want her to know her mother is Christian, and I want her to know I'm atheist, and I want her to decide as she gets older what makes sense. ... I read her Bible stories and say, 'does this make sense to you? Do you believe some guy was able to go all over the Earth and get every two animals from polar bears and marine iguanas ... and tigers and put them all on one boat? Sounds pretty incredible to me. You can decide for yourself.'"

This guy is a walking contradiction. Read the above , Tired of Taxes, and tell me what you see........

........He's not raising her to be an atheist, he just mocks the Bible to his impressionable eight year old.

Well, he certainly doesn't fit my view of an "atheist". An atheist doesn't call himself "Reverend" and then establish a church.

However, like Newdow, I, as an atheist, also discuss religious stories and so on openly with at least my oldest child (the others are still too young to comprehend it all). That is, I want my children to decide on their own, as long as they reach their conclusions through careful thought and consideration (which, of course, would lead to my view. =) ). I think most atheists do the same.
