If Christianity, Hebrewism, Mohammedanism, or any other creed is true, its truth must be more apparent at the age of twenty-five than it is at the age of five. Why does the ecclesiastic not leave off his advances until the child reaches a mature age, an age when he can reason? Then, if theism is true, he can accept it with a reasoning mind, not a blindly faithful mind. The theist realizes, however, that belief is at one pole, reason at the other. Belief, creed, religion, are ideations of the primitive mind and the mind of the child; reason is the product of mature thought. Schopenhauer remarked that, "The power of religious dogma when inculcated early is such as to stifle conscience, compassion, and finally every feeling of humanity."285 It is an undeniable fact that if the clergy would but leave their tainted hands off the minds of our children until they would have reached a mature age, there would be no religious instinct. Religious instinct is a myth. Give me but two generations of men who have not been subjected to this religious influence in childhood, and there will be a race of atheists - from The Necessity of Atheism by Dr. D.M. BROOKS

Muhammad only got prophethood at 40,jesus got it in the womb of her mother.Muhammad never bowed or worshiped any of the myth of arabia until his age of 40 at which he attained the prophethood and started preaching the true faith. Jesus proclaimed he is a prophet of God in her mothers lap now tell me where are the tainted hands in there case.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>Muhammad never bowed or worshiped any of the myth of arabia until his age of 40 at which he attained the prophethood...........Mohammed was the person who carried out the repairs of the old Moon temple at Kaaba. It was only after that he got involved in the business of Prophet-hood etc!!!!!! Read some more history.
