At first glance, that does sound good. Hmm, at least spread of several undesirable cults would be rarer, which, I think, would be a good thing. and what is an undesirable cult: we can always consult representatives of other creeds about the desirability of a particular cult. * For example, if certain popes (and their writings) are consulted, no doubt the lutheran creed is convincingly characterized as an undesirable cult. Highly undesirable. * And, if certain protestant leaders (and their writings) are consulted, no doubt the roman catholic creed gets gravely (and seemingly truthfully) displayed as an undesirable cult. Very undesirable. * and so forth. Perhaps, without subjecting innocent children to any religion when yet young, children could start to traverse among several sects and beliefs, to familiarize themselves with such, when at their more mature years, such as nearing 18. Very few children I know, actually wish to accompany anyone to any service in church. I think that's a sign what to do with parental desires of having children with when visiting church services.
