Sense, Nonsense, and Not-Sense

On the debate, I understand why the school got cold feet. Religious stuff at school always makes school people a little nervous because if some one distributes any religion-based stuff some one else is going to complain mightily. On the other hand of that, as she was only going to distribute the stuff during recess and at the bus I don’t see much of a problem with it. Just because she hands it out doesn’t mean anyone actually has to read it.

On a personal note though, any child handing out religious literature makes me sick. I’ve never met any one under the age of twelve who actually understands the actual philosophy of any religion. Which means the parents are trying to use their child for their own purposes, which always makes me sick. I get the same feeling seeing kids passing out political flyers, saying “Don’t let the terrorist rape and murder me. I’m only six.”

I’d rather see kids be kids and make adults quit using them as pawns in their petty power struggles.
