What then is your question dear child? That children are natural atheists? The answer should be as clear as the nose on your face.
Let's say a child is raised to , oh the age of five. He has NEVER been exposed to anything whatsoever to do with dragons, the slaying of dragons, myths,stories, pictures or fables of dragons. Has never heard the word or understands the concept.
One day mommy, in a slightly drug addled state starts spouting out stories about dragons and their slaying. Would the child instantly believe there are dragons, or more likely that something is terribly amiss with mommy?
You get my point. Children, like many adults can be brainwashed and stories of dragons are no more difficult to engage a child, with repeated and earnest storytelling, than angels with wings, virgin births, raising the dead, and so on.
Of course, explaining genital integrity may be a bit more of a challenge, but we are all ears and look forward to not just a rivetting expose on that subject, but of course what if any connection there is to the slaying of dragons!!
We are eagerly awaiting your penetrating insights to these weighty issues.

First darkness than light.
That is the norm. The eve of the dawning of the next day is in darkness, sundown.
As the "evening and the morning" is the day.
A child is born in total darkness (Lack of knowledge is darkness) and then light comes in gradually as knowledge is eaten, as in the tree of knowledge of good and evil.
When that child's knowledge is able to cause it to make choices between to extremes of good and evil, the curse of Adam sets in, and His spirit becomes as like all of us dead to God.
That is because it has become like as god, to know good and evil.
OK, now comes in the good part of all this in that in order for us to know what good is, we must be placed in an evil environment to where this good can be born in.
Depending on our upbringing, what we have been thought, will depend on what the outcome will normally be, unless God steps in and causes changes.
There cannot be perfect people in this evil environment, but there can be perfect people in the midst of the evil environment when God is in us working out the evil in us to do good.
Remember reading what Jesus said:
Joh 17:15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.
Jesus did not come to change anything about what was in the world, just the hearts of mankind that are in the world.
That is why Jesus never addressed all the issues we have today, because it is the heart that discerns which way we decide on the issues.

There are some very respected individuals here on this forum who have a bit of class, conduct themselves admirably, and respond politely.
They may not believe what I do, but I do hold them up with respect and honor their views without any criticism.
I would like to do the same with you, if you will. Its not too late!

Quoting mrgrumpy
It is very obvious grumpy, based on your previous responses to various posters, that your attitude does not lend to any humility, willingness to be understanding and or willing to give folks their due in what they want to believe.
Do you earn some points for posting all this nonsensical drivel?

Egotistical at least. Sounds more like meglomania to me.
You seem just a step away from declaring YOURSELF a GOD.
Enlighten us then Rock Solid - how many of our years ago was the earth created?
Quoting look3467
I am rock solid on the bible's account of things,
Where as, I am not, for I am free from all of that, from organized religion, from any an all of the worlds beliefs, for there is absolutely nothing that will rattle my cage, for I am from a view point of understanding surpassing all of them.
Sounds egotistical? I apologize, but my views are all inclusive of every soul that ever broke the womb, that none of them shall be put to waste in God's kingdom.
