And as far as the library is concerned, God forbid kids actually get the chance to learn to think for themselves. What good will your children be able to do once they mature and turn out into society if they don't know what the real world is like? How will they know about changing evil if they know no evil and have never had a chance to formulate an opinion about it? And how will they feel when they reach maturity and realize their parents never trusted them enough to tell the truth about what the world is like? What possible good can that do the world? And there should not be an age restriction on the Bible. Truth doesn't pertain to adults only. Kids need to have parents with enough backbone to tell it like it is, giving them the freedom they need to become independent thinkers. They don't need parents enforcing them to believe things or they'll grow up wondering why they've never thought about anything else before. They'll not be able to amply defend their faith to unbelievers. What a tragedy. All this has been my own experience. Thank God I'm not so dependent that I've accepted what everyone in the world has tried to shove down my throat.
