"The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently."
-Friedrich Nietzsche, The Dawn, Sec. 297
German philosopher (1844 - 1900)
Surely Neitzsche has a point...obviously he was a Godless man that had a lot of issues about the whole Christianity thing, but Christians and Athiests should take this into further consideration. When judging the ideas of other men shouldn't we learn how to teach not by telling someone how it is, but instead by actually explaining issues and letting the learner come to his or her own conclusion once pressented with the altering perspectives. I hope to perhaps teach my children this way so that they can believe without so much wondering! I think that this is the problem with a lot of our education today...and Plato might agree:)
