[A critique of Objectivism]

I've been trying to "poke holes" in Miss Rand's ideas for years, as a good scientist should, and cannot. Does anyone know of a reasonable attempt? Is there a book that comes close?

[Could religion be considered prosecutable child abuse?]

In The God Delusion, Dawkins cites a man with a rather interesting opinion. He states that he doesn't actually endorse this opinion, but he rather presents it as something to think about.

I can't remember the guy's name (and I don't have the book with me at the moment), but he believes that it should be illegal to teach religion to children who are too young to look at the arguments and make the decision for themselves. He considers it to be child abuse. He believe it should be illegal in church, school, and even at home, by the parents.

I certainly understand his argument and I detest the way that children are brainwashed into religion. But there's still something about his argument that doesn't sit right with me. Discuss.

I love Dawkins' proof A deity's omniscience/omnipotence, "If he know's what going to happen, then he can't change it, If he can change it, he didn't know" Excellent. Of course, you get the reply: "He knew that he would change his mind".

[Could religion be considered prosecutable child abuse?]

Then you are saying that parents should be prevented from imparting religious doctrines to their children.

In your opinion, how should an Objectivist handle that topic when dealing with/teaching his children?
