At birth, babies are strangers to this world in which they are born. They do not know the difference between right and wrong, truth and lies, or good and evil. How, then, shall they go unless they be led by adults?
Karl Marx said, "Religion is the opiate of people."
Socialism understands that religion is the oldest method of mind control that man has invented on the face of the earth; and Socialism also understands that, to change the future of a nation, change the educational program of children beginning in early childhood.
Therefore, if religion can get to the minds of children and get to their minds early in life, they can be controlled and dominated all the days of their lives.
Religion is also the wealthiest institution that man has invented on the face of the earth. By this we can see that once people are controlled by religion, the people will also give their money.
As strangers to this world, what are young children to do? They will do as they are taught to do, and they will perform in the ways they are taught to perform in the knowledge that they have been taught to believe.
Because religion is so common all over the world, there is no better place on the earth to turn the minds of little children away from God: for little children do not know that religion is a work of evil.
Pontius Pilate said unto Jesus, "What is truth?" (John 18: 38)
If young children are prevented from learning the truth of Christ and the truth of the Bible, they will likely believe in everything under the sun without ever knowing the truth about God and without ever knowing that they are a creation from the mind of God. Not only are little children strangers to this world in which they are born, but they are also strangers to God.
In the minds of parents without God, however, they believe they are right because their minds were also deceived to believe in religion as well as to believe in everything else under the sun. Obviously, parents will teach their children to be like them instead of teaching their children to be as God wants them to be: for the parents are also strangers to God.
Jesus said, "Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these. (Matthew 19: 14 NIV)
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the greatest event in human history, and, as Christians, we say we believe in the Lord's resurrection. But as we look inside some churches today, what do we see?
We see parents and children kneeling to idols made by human hands.
We see parents and children kneeling to human faces captured on portraits and pictures hanging on the walls.
We see parents and children kneeling to an image of a man's face dead on a cross.
We see parents and children seeking forgiveness for their sins by human priests.
After the resurrection of Christ in Jerusalem, it is written in the word of the Lord:
"Why seek ye the living among the dead? He is not here, but is risen:" (Luke 24: 5-6)
But what else do we see today that has robbed the truth of Christ from the minds of little children?
We see more plans and preparations for Santa Claus and Easter Bunny than for Christ at Christmas as well as for Christ at Easter.
In closing, let me tell you that I made my mistakes as a young parent. While it is easy for me to say if I had known then all that I know now, but I did not know then all that I know now. In recent years, however, I have learned that the greatest gift God given to parents is children, and the question I have at this time is this: how do we treat them?
"And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." (Ephesians 6: 4)
