]]> Comment on Are Atheists Smarter about Religion? by Thomas Marlowe http://andyaffleck.com/2010/09/30/are-atheists-smarter-about-religion/comment-page-1/#comment-47 Thomas Marlowe Mon, 04 Oct 2010 11:29:56 +0000 http://andyaffleck.com/?p=2083#comment-47 Thank you, Andy. I appreciate your intelligent analysis. Might I make the following comment: the survey measures is "multiculturalism" not "smarter about religion". That being said, I propose that if you ask the 3,400 people surveyed outright: "Do you value multiculturalism?" You'll get the same scores. Many atheists & agnostics are proud of their multiculturalism while many Christians actually feel the need to fight such concepts. Thank you, Andy.

I too have this issue with my two 10 year olds. They are close to being able to use social networking and it would aid in keeping in contact with our scattered family, friends, and even school mates. What you are doing regards YouTube is spot on: Use the internet+hardware as a tool for making stuff. My kids would love to have a blog for photos of the world, their toys, models, drawings, and other handwork. I want them to make games too but am concerned that the there is too much distance between what that want and what they can achieve. Well spoken. I too have this issue with my two 10 year olds.

This ties in nicely with Claudia D'Arcy's post about creating a social media policy for families (http://www.dragonsearchmarketing.com/blog/family-social-media-policy-rules/). I like your notion of, "we should be starting to walk our kids into this online world the way we walk them into the real world." Let me know if you'd be interested in doing a guest blog post on Dragonsearch on this, or another subject. -r Andy; great blog post – really well written.

As far as YouTube goes, you'll notice that I don't even use my son's name on the video or the site. I'm probably being overly protective but there it is. I agree completely.

However not all parents take the time to learn how to supervise their children's actions nor do they take the time to teach their children about the pros' and cons of their actions. Some children are just not mature enough to handle these resources. My son has a FB page. He knows not to post anything he doesn't want the whole world to read. He knows not to accept friends with out asking. He also is interested in UTube for claymation. We are working on that one...I need to learn more about that before we proceed. Protecting our children is one thing , but preparing them with a solid foundation on which to base their decisions is a better choice. No one said parenting would be easy, we are obligated to equipt ourselves so that we can equipt them. Just my thoughts. Agreed.
