I am a child of the 1940s' and growing up I was taught the
importance of:
God,
Honesty,
Integrity,
Responsibility
The results of cause and effect.
I eventually came to believe that:
Competition creates achievement,
Success is a product of smart thinking and hard work.
Innovation and creativity are products of individual freedom.
We all have the right to believe and practice our religion or
not.
Each person is unique in talent, ability and
in contribution to society.
In the freedom to express myself, and the right of my neighbor to
do the same.
A country and society divided against itself will eventually
crumble and fall into weakness.
Common sense is the best aid in decision making, it most
plans are destined to fail.
True education promotes digging through piles of drivel and deceit
in order to discover truth
Indoctrination promotes actions based upon unsustainable
falsehoods and a lust for power.
That it makes more sense to believe in God, eternity, grace
and forgiveness than in the nothingness of atheism because of possible
result.
