great advice
Parenting Beyond Belief offers some great advice for protecting freethinking children against their peers’ threats of hellfire and damnation:
Just as we inoculate our kids against diseases by putting small amounts of the bad stuff into their arms to build resistance, we have to inoculate them against toxic ideas that can paralyze their abilities to think freely so they can live without medieval ignorance and fear trailing them through their one and only life. So tell them about Hell, then don’t just ‘disagree’ with it: laugh it to smithereens.
