Is there a difference between teaching a child that God exists and that all people are created equal?

Obviously, both are just beliefs. You can't prove or disprove either. Lots of intelligent people have agreed and disagreed with both beliefs. Sure, the belief that all people are created equal is fashionable today, but that does not make it a fact. And the belief that God exists has been fashionable at times too.

There is no essential difference between teaching a child two beliefs.

It's totally different. One of those beliefs really is true, while the other one not so much.

See results.

both are true and "self evident" so no different.

That's a false dichotomy, you dumbass. It's like saying you can only like apples or sandwiches.

It's not like saying you can only like apples or sandwiches. Rather, it's like asking, is there a difference between telling your child that apples are good and sandwiches are good?

Those beliefs aren't mutually exclusive, so what is the point of this question?

I see no difference between the two.
