Thanks for sharing the video. It's a reminder of the power of information and the Internet's ability to disseminate it to people who hunger for contrary views.The segment on the indoctrination of the children resonates with me; it's as if their DNA has been embedded with a world view and belief system that all too often serves to blind them from reality.
The struggle for the secular community is to meet the social and emotional needs that the comfort of myths provides. A tall order indeed!Peter T.
