Because the penalty for following the "wrong" religion can be eternal
damnation, everyone needs to make their own decisions. In order to do that
a person needs information and shouldhave learned enough to be able to
defend their choice in a logical manner.
However, when a teacher is dealing with "young skulls full of mush" you can
wind up with indoctrnation rather than learning.
For an example of the Bible being right, carefully read Genesis 1:6-8 (The
second day of creation (Monday)) and notice that, unlike the other days,
there is no "God saw how good it was." Now you know why Mondays are a
problem.
