Eventually the kids will grow up and think for themselves. If you want the government to determine which religious beliefs are "harmful" and which are not then move to China, Cuba, or North Korea... and raise some cookie-cutter children.
No, I donā??t believe a state or anyone has the right to limit the beliefs of others. I once hoped that humans could have the intelligence to censor out absurd beliefs for them selves. Now I realize humans are idiots.

Donā??t let them bribe you from thinking straight.
