I love the way that they just don't freaking understand the core of what they're saying.  Effectively, the problem is that their children are exposed to atheists and skeptics before they can be completely brainwashed into the faith.

 

You'd think that if the Truth was as True as they seem to think it is, It would win out against the atheists and skeptics.

Yes!  I always  think this!  If an argument holds water, it hold water.  It shouldn't matter if it's challenged or not!

Gee, does this mean that, like, FACTS can trump bullshit in an open, egalitarian environment?  WHAT A CONCEPT!

Yes, and it scares him.

It damned well should.  The one thing most churches avoid like the plague is a genuine, unfettered and uncensored exchange of ideas ... because what comes out is that the belief crowd ultimately get confronted with the fact that they have nothing new to offer except the same thousand-year-old lies, and that they are becoming ever more irrelevant as people evolve and grow out of the need for irrational, unsubstantiated belief.
