Manipulate children?  I was thinking more along the lines of "teaching"
them.  I suppose you won't be sending your kids to school either as they
are sure to be manipulated there.  I don't think there's anything wrong
with using religion to teach children -- it worked out fine for me (can't
you tell :-).  I guess that's why I think it's okay... Each to his own.

Often, the right thing to do will make someone mad, and one SHOULDN'T
do it.  I believe it's called using your best judgement -- now, try to
teach that to your kids.
