Are your parents religious? Do you have to go to church?

If you want to learn, church is the wrong place to go. They are still
passing around the superstitious beliefs of some ancient goat farmers.
Those goat farmers may have known goats, but that didn't make them
experts on anything else. They didn't even know they were standing on
a globe. They're hardly a reliable source for knowledge. But they are
a source for conflict, if know any history. It seems a lot of
suffering and unfairness and lack of peace is actually CAUSED by God,
or at least, the belief in God. The world needs better citizens than
them, desparately. Be one.
