Digitally Born

Thanks to Joshua, who sits about 12 feet directly in front of me, for this great video.

I think it’s reasonable to think that this child did not reach these insightful conclusions herself. So ..

Despite the fact that I think this child is insanely cute, and her message is intelligent and well rehearsed, I (at the risk of being ironic) don’t believe it’s right to convince a child to convey a message of any belief system, even if it’s the non-belief I now find myself so very fond of. For this, I cringe as much as I would a 10 year old saying that he got saved because he “needed more from life.” (quote from Jesus Camp)
Not only that, but she curses. Again with irony, I don’t think it’s right to allow instruct a child to break social standards of common respect. I do, however, believe that a child should be taught WHY our morals follow the structure it does and allow them to decide their own path and experience the outcome.

With all of that said, I applaud the social commentary. I think it’s points are more accurate then most and Bill O’Reilly needs to go fuck himself.
