An Agnostic friend recently told me, “If I was raised in the Church of Jack and the Beanstalk, I’d believe that just like anyone believes their religion from Childhood. What’s a REAL reason for me to convert to Christianity?” His point is right-dead on target.

The beliefs of Christianity are true, so why do parents and clergy raise children in Christianity with indoctrination methods that cultivate parroting without understanding? A ruler tells his people not to question a teaching when he KNOWS that his teaching is false. Why use “believe a lie” method to ostensibly rear young Christians in “truth”!?

This behavior raises scary quesitons.. Do the parents and pastors only claim to follow Jesus to mask their own doubt? Do the parents and pastors think that Jesus is a lie? Are they simply too lazy to give good answers to tough questions?

If people don’t have understanding, they can’t explain something in a way that makes sense.

The WiFi version consisted of a long list of numbers ending with “b” while the new version ended with “n” which translated into: I need a new thousand-dollar laptop so it can work with the $150 “new” router. A few years ago Microsoft had a similar problem: people preferred the older XP version of Windows since Vista, practically speaking, seemed to be a step backwards. Even now, China manufactures new technology, yet prefers to buy old, tried and true hardware. Is the “never ending growth” of technology a myth? The crashed Tech Stock fad at the turn of the millennium seemed to say so.

Let's take your favorite hand held doojimahickie.. the little stick you use to write with is called a “stylus”. The last time Humanity used a stylus to write with was when we kept records by carving words into a shallow box of mud. Resorting to the mud box stylus wasn't enough for Apple, however.
