indoctrination of children

There should be no such thing as a Christian child, just a child of Christian parents. Then let them make their own mind up about which religion, or not, they want to follow.

I agree but you won't convince the religious of that.

A small percentage of children sacrificed to Baal isn't necessarily a bad thing . . .

No.

Like the detestable god of the Tishbites, or whoever it was the prophet Elijah was pissed off at that week.


Sheesh.

A parents job is NOT to pre-indoctrinate the child for fear of later indoctrination, as a parent we should just teach them to approach everything logically and skeptically.

Teach them to question instead of serving the answer on a silver platter.
