[b]Muslim girls undergoing clitorectomy
I don't know the other points so I will only comment on what I know.
Clitorectormy is not an Islamic doctrain, it is taken from older cultures
It differ from country to country depending on the culture.
and not all muslims follow it today,
So in this very specific case it is culture not religon.
I thought he might talk about other points,[/b]

For example, in the chapter on Consolation, he gives various examples of non-theistic, evidentiary sorts of consolation to comfort terminally ill patients, that you don't need to believe in heaven in order to have good reasons not to fear death.
I will be going to civilization on Tuesday and will get a copy. I look forward to a fascinating learning experience.

i think it would be wrong to not give the kid a choice, and to deceive him/her into thinking that it is 100% the correct belief. they should let the kid know that it may or may not be the right religion, and that it is possible that all religions are wrong.

Well, it says that it is true, so it must be!
How much percentage of the Koran do you agree with?
Good point,
I didn't ask is it true or false,
I asked you do you agree with it or not.
I agree with Quran 100% , but that doesn't mean it should be true for you, I claim it is true, and we can discuss that. But this has nothing to do with my agreement with it.
It is the same with that book, you could agree with it 100% but that doen't mean it is true.
Note: What do you mean by true?

Why would I, how could I, and what would it mean for me to agree with something that I think is false?
That you think the Koran is true has nothing to do with your agreement with it? I simply can't understand this. Can you give an example of something you agree with that you think is false?
I'm not claiming that agreeing with something imparts truth unto it.
