Hi all,
​
I agree Shraf, if children are taught moral concepts on a religious basis do they truly understand the social contract or are they only following the concepts out of fear of retribution? I think this also leads to many of the posts on this forum where believers think that to be atheist means to be amoral. If you are taught that moral behavior is because "God" doesn't like it, when you come across someone who doesn't believe, what are you suppose to think? This can also, in some instances, lead to the "it's us or them" mentality that has plagued religion since the very beginning of the concept.

Echinacia would be coneflower, not cornflower. Purple Coneflower to be exact.
