Yikes. There is quite a pattern developing in the religious right, in the US at least. We are turning back the clock folks.

    Young people need to understand, first and foremost, that (almost) everything you believe is wrong. Young people are inherently naive and inexperienced, and must look to their elders and the Bible to learn the proper way to think and behave. Know that God does not change and human nature does not change either. Ever. We all have a lot to learn. Humility is the key. I say this in all acknowledgement that despite my age, I still know next to nothing. If you feel hatred towards religion or anything else (or anyone else), first accept that you are wrong, and then ask God for His guidance.

      Well that’s sort of condescending. Age doesn’t make people inherently wiser, and a lack of belief in religion doesn’t imply naivete or inexperience–just a shortage of believable evidence. It’s actually far more naive to believe something without strong evidence, isn’t it?

      Yeah, otherwise young people might start to think that women are somehow equal to men and all sorts of other crazy things. Gotta nip that stuff in the bud, right?
