Child Abuse usually brings associated sexual connotations to the average person's mind. But the fact is that we are only concerned about physical abuse. There is another more sinister form of abuse thats happening in more than 99% of the homes. Its called mental abuse. Well lets take a look at why sex with children is called abuse.
Its defined as abuse because children below 16 years are considered not mature enough (changes according to each country's laws. In fact Peruvians are considered mature a good two years before us) to make decisions regarding sex. So even if consensual sex happens between a minor and a major, its construed as the minor being forced or falsely coerced into having sex, where the major is held responsible for rape. So if children(below 16) are not mature to take decisions about sex before 16...how come they are being taught the most important thing in their lives, before they are mature...How come they cant chose their religion or more importantly whether they need a religion or whether they need a God?
Why wont we let them use their mature minds after 16 years to decide what they want to follow in life. Let them think and decide whats best for them..
We are nurturing blind obedience to faith which in turn leads them to follow fanaticism in the same manner. We blindfold them as children, silence their questions and ultimately kill their inquisitiveness and turn them into dummies. The dummies whose rational mind is killed and emotional nature is aroused by conditioning them to do, "not what is right, but whatever our family does is right enough". So we are creating a generation that is ready to fight not for what it thinks is right ( coz they have lost the ability to think)... but what they are taught is right...
Its takes a lot of courage to doubt one's roots, but it takes even greater courage to accept the truth. The truth that may turn one into a loner, ex-communicated, outcast. But the question is,
" Do u have it in you, to shake the foundations of your belief with the cyclone of rational thought and reasoning?"

Nice work :)
The blog leads to lot of thinking!..
There are many theories which try to prove the supernatural, that there is God, but to become agnostic or athiest, we do not need support of the theory- we have to believe in our self- will!
But experiences in life is because of interaction between us and the external environment. Untill we have the freedom and power to exert our self will, the powers of dominance ( parents, religion, government and capitalism)will take their toll.. we are less of decision makers!. But to believe or not to believe is left to us!
Giordano Bruno, Galileo, Copernicus and Tyco Brahe proposed a solar centric system against earth- centric beliefs. The Christiain hegemony initially resisted and then finally approved. Theory of Relativity gave the insight that energy can be turned into matter and matter into energy- ( in special circumstances). It was again a blow to supernaturalism.
There is no reason, one should believe in a demi- God. But some men do live like Gods, because lot of goodness and energy is manifested into them like Abraham Lincoln, Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
The fight against slavery is still a usual phenomena..slavery of thoughts, slavery of living and there are many who pretend to believe the unreal and make us slaves and flout gainst free thinking!
super blog...topic which is not touched by many...but needs immediate attention lest we want our generation to be reduced to a flock of dumb sheep....good work
