Please do forward us some of your questions or discussion topics, etc. I am interested to hear what else you have to say.
I agree that many people, tennagers especially, seem to speak in the words of their idol politicians or in the words of their opinionated parents. On the other hand,there are a lot of kids I think that do know what they are talking about and have done the research in order to find out the facts. Perhaps if their views match those of certain politicians a little too closely we assume they don't actually know or believe those things, but that they copy them to sounds smart. We just have to remember not to jump to conclusions about people we don't personally know, which jumps back to the point about people calling you certain derogatory names because of where you live. I personally think that political correctness is a virtue that we should not take loosely. Yes, it can be incredibly touchy and picky sometimes, but generally we should all do our best not to offend anyone, don't you think? After all, this is the 21st century; it seems like we all should have learned to live together by now. But like you said, if we were all the same and there was nothing for us to disagree over, where would we be?
Anyway, what you had to say about evolution was really interesting. I was at one point a more religious person than I am now, and unlike yourself, it was actually the study of biology and anthropology, etc that made be doubt the creation stories and many other parts of the Christian religion. Send along those ideas or questions you have and we can all try to sort them out.
