Is brainwashing an intelligent child into creationism like using a thoroughbred race horse to plough a field?

I'm having a bad anlaogy day...normally, my analogies are elegant and poetic.

I've never thought about it that way, but thats a good analogy.
Love the analogy.
Well, every parent is granted the opportunity to screw up a perfectly good human being.
Father knows best
Think of how fast that field would get plowed
No, because lots of good comes from plowing fields...whereas creationism serves no purpose but to corrupt intellect.
No. Ploughing a field is useful.. racing not so much.
its like Einstein being a pastor and not a physicist.
It's not brainwashing a child, it's teaching a child to have faith. Some don't have to teach them anything, some are born with faith. Like myself.
Love it.
no. the horse can do that after its racing career is over. you ruin the kid early, it may be forever.
using a race horse to plow a field would actually benefit society more than using it to gamble on. So was that the point you were trying to make?
why discriminate religion should be confined to history all children deserve to be free of its contamination
What you are implying here is just atheistic bologna yet again. Parents will stand accountable to God one day for what they have done and what they have failed to do by way of training up a child to know the Lord in goodness and love. Brainwashing is NOTHING that any respectable decent Christian believes in in any way shape or form. Just because you point to christianity as being ALL brainwashed doesn't make it truth. You make your negativity all too clear in about EVERY post you make on this site - unfortunately. You glob us all together like mindless sheep FAR MORE than any believing soul does in any church or denomination across the globe. But you are clearly FREE to fail to give your own children a full perspective about ALL beliefs and points of view if that is your choice. As it is every believers righteous choice to teach their children about the Loving Heavenly Father who knows them and wants them to have eternal happiness with Him again one day too.... Your unkind remarks are just so grossly obvious and rather sad. I'm sorry you hate God and religion so much. It is just a shame you lack respect for other points of view as well.
That's a great analogy. Something that has so much potential to be great has to be thrust into a world of mindlessly doing as you're told. How sad.
Yes indeed a waste of a good mind/spirit.
Yes, it's exactly like that. Living based on blind belief rather than what's been proven true.
LIKE BUYING A DIAMOND ONLY TO GET HOME OPEN THE BOX AND ALL THAT'S THERE IS SH1T................. BIG DISAPPOINTMENT WHEN U REALISE U'VE BEEN LIED TO BY THE MARKET STALL OWNER
Oh Desi.... You are ALWAYS ALWAYS elegant and poetic!
There's nothing wrong with exposing your child to the Bible, along with science. There's no reason the two can't coexist peacefully. After all, as long as I could remember I was taught to consider both sides of the argument before deciding something.
