When, Where, How and Why did you become Atheist?
#84
RE: When, Where, How and Why did you become Atheist?
I'd say there is a point at which society has to decide someone is not a fit parent. We already make such decisions, because it's unfair to children to have incapable parents.

As an extreme example, if a parent is indoctrinating their children to commit suicide, or to become murderers, or anything like that, society has to step in and say no. How many children are you going to allow them to damage in this way before you declare them unfit? I agree parents should have the freedom to teach their kids as they see fit within reason, but as a society we can't allow anything and everything.

I'm not suggesting there are easy criteria for such decisions. They should be taken on a case by case basis.
Feel free to send me a private message.
