				| I heard a Korean man, who happens to have a PhD in English Education, once say, ". . .and the children already know how to speak in dialect!", by which he meant, they have acquired the grammatical and syntactical tools by which they my effectively and correctly speak in tongues. . . 
 Ya Ba Da Ba Dooooo!
 
 Maybe we can create a new kind of degree. TTSORL (Teaching Tongues to Speakers of Rational Languages).
 
 A few core themes will be necessary for the completion of this degree. 1) Creation Science; 2) Creative Epistemology; 3) The Chaos Theory of Grammar; 4) International Relations, Economies and Politics; and, most importantly for American Students, 4) Constitutional Law.
 
 Scholarships are available and, Seek Ye Loan Forgiveness, Jesus Thee Shall Save! Blik-ud-fer-gabben-snatch!

 Although, with Koreans would you even really need to communicative tongues at all? You could just teach translation of tongues using GMT. Pluse, in pronunciation everyone would score 100% to boost up the marks.

				| What is "GMT"? Got My Tongue?!   
 I wonder if they somehow manage to add syllables when they speak in tongues?

 Well, God gets it! Doesn't matter your nationality. It's universal:

 Then you don't have much of a sense of humor, do you?

	  | Unfortunately, I think you�re wrong; atheists do not speak out enough against religious superstition. While I have to endure religious symbolism wherever I go, when was the last time you were confronted with atheist iconography? When was the last time atheists accosted you on the subway? 
 People don�t believe in Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny, but are happy to suspend disbelief when it comes to a personal god (or gods). People don�t believe in Zeus or Odin anymore, but are unable to take the next step and forsake the filth coming from a book over two thousand years old.
 
 Children should not be subjected to religion! They do not have the ability to discern between reality and fiction, between what is real and what is made up by the ignorant to explain phenomena they cannot explain.  Imagine the horror of a child confronted with someone nailed to a cross?  What an awful sight!
 
 In contrast, imagine the wonder and amazement of a child looking through a telescope, or a microscope. Curiosity is aroused and a desire to explore!
 
 Religion is child abuse; stop it now.
 Religion is ignorance; stop it now.

 I bet you do not even believe in The Happy Birthday Chicken.

				| Unfortunately there are people on both sides of the spectrum (Christian and Atheist) who don't understand that their beliefs are not necessarily fact. The existence of God cannot be proven true nor false. 
 Simply because one chooses to hold one particular belief does not grant them the right to force that lifestyle choice on others. Suggesting that Christianity should never be taught to children is just as bad as suggesting that Christianity must be taught to all children.
 
 If you personally choose to believe that religion or belief in a higher being is a load of garbage, then great. You are more than welcome to hold that view. However, it doesn't give you the right to tell others that they must conform to your view. You like to refer to religion as fiction, but you nor anyone else can offer definitive proof to back up this statement, just as a Christian cannot offer any proof to show that God does indeed exist.
 
 This is an issue that can never be solved. It is impossible to answer certain questions because they are not based on fact, but on opinion.
 
 If you have children, educate them however you see fit. Let other parents educate their children how they see fit. If everyone (believers of faith as well as Atheists) would stop trying to prove how the other side is wrong and simply respect everyone's right to choose, the world would be a much better place.
