Every child is born without any fear and guilt. But that will change soon because religion will spend billions of dollars to teach this child that they were born because of an original sin, the very act of sex, which is how they came to be on earth because of some ancient ghost made humans and put them in a garden, with a snake and an apple tree.
When the man eat the apple the woman gave him because the snake told her to do it, they both suddenly became so damn horny, they fell into lust at the very sight of each other. The man had this big woody and figured out that it should be impaled in that woman who gave him the apple to eat. They dropped to the ground and had sex for the very first time. These two individuals just did nothing but have sex, day in and day out until the woman's belly began to grow.
This ghost then said they must leave this garden and make it on their own now that they figured out what sex is all about. This sex thing was very bad, a sin, and they must be punished for enjoying this pleasurable act.
Shame on them, they could have lived in the garden for eternity as just two people, doing their own thing, never really noticing the other one.
This child will be taught to be fearful of this supreme ghost that punished these two people way back in ancient times. That is ghost lives someplace in the universe and can sees and hear everything that everyone on earth is doing and speaking all at the same time. Much like the American National Security Agency is doing today with electronic surveillance.
This child will be taught to ask this ghost for help with everything from winning a sports game, making the right choices at a town hall meeting, making you safe when you travel or race a car at hundreds of miles an hour around a track or when flying a plane full of people into a tall office building.
This ghost will help some people and not others it doesn't like. This ghost may even cause a disaster and kill many who he doesn't likes because there were a few that didn't get on their knees and tell him he is perfect and the best. Such an ego.
Teaching this little thing that anyone who doesn't have fear of this ghost is immoral, godless and a heathen, not to be trusted and is your mortal enemy.
They will teach this beautiful child to take up arms and use violence to force anyone who has not been taught to be fearful of this ghost, to join in this fear or die.
They will require this child as it goes through life to spend countless hours gathering with others who fear this ghost trying to convince this ghost that they are fearful, but still love it in some weird way and they will give their very life in protecting this ghost.
They will be taught that they must give their money to this ghost so they will be allowed into the space in the universe that this ghost lives. The more you give, the closer you can live to this special ghost. Kind of like real estate, the better the view the more you pay.
They teach this child to sing songs and do all sorts of rituals in hopes that this ghost will like them and allow them to even be near this special ghost when they die.
This child will be pushed and pulled in the tug of war between knowledge and truth against this fear and need to be ignorant so they can be near this special ghost when they die. How can they learn about science and still be fearful of this special ghost? These religions understand this problem, so they battle to eliminate the teaching of science and replace it with the teaching of fear and ignorance.
So what if this child was raised to explore the universe around it. To ask questions why the universe, the earth and all living things are the way they are. To seek answers to these questions, to find solutions to issues that humans have created. To seek a better way of life by applying critical thinking and reason to find the answers to the problems that confront them.
Would the world be in the state of turmoil it is in today? Think about it...
