Atheism vaccine.

[cantata]

I wonder if there's anyone here who, if it were possible to vaccinate one's child against atheism or apostasy, would do so.

I'm sure they would, in the same way they'd vaccinate against homosexuality, transgenderism, etc.

It's a trap!

They already got it, it's called brainwashing.

Can the same be said for the opposite? (Think Communist Russia?) No, it's truth right?

I would never support the brainwashing of any child into any worldview, secular or otherwise.

to vaccinate a child against such things would be to take away their freedom of choice. In my eyes, choice is the most important freedom we have.

It's a subjective term, honestly. Most people are quick to call what they don't like brainwashing, like raising a kid in a Christian home or something.

That would remove free will. God would not be impressed.

Thank goodness for that.

Would abortion be an effective theism vaccine, since we're naturally atheists and all?

Who told you we are naturally atheists? Bollox as the folk across the pond say. As newborns have no sense of individuality and cannot distinguish between themselves and their external environment they are therefore pantheists.

Edit: Or maybe solopsists

I take it this is a flippant remark, but I don't really see how it works anyway.

Such a vaccine already exists. It's called applying reason to our observations of the world around us.

In any event, a vaccine wouldn't do them any good, anyway. They don't need to be innoculated against atheism. They need to be born again.

Application of "reason" is what lead to my atheism.

I don't think reason is a suitable analogy for a vaccine, or vice versa.

God gives us free will, so no I wouldn't it would be against god.
