Values are learned through experience, which parents cannot (nor should they ever) completely dominate.

I do find it disturbing how some parents treat their chldren as if they were posessions, and not the social responsibility which they are.

If you are trying to "instill" atheism in your son rather than allowing him to make that choice for himself, then you are no better than any religious asshole. If that's the case, then we have no more to say.

I'd suggest you learn how to read, asshole:

Thump Wrote:I didn't program him what to think. I taught him reasoning and let him program himself.

I wrote that just a few posts ago.  Had you not been so busy stroking your ego pointing out "fallacies" that hadn't even been committed, you would have seen that.

But hey, "I'm right and you're wrong!" is a good sop to a sagging ego.

I notice you didn't answer my questions. Please do so now, or fuck off. Idiot.

Oh, so now I'm the asshole? Oh, puh-leeeeeze! If you can't express yourself unmistakably in English, and that isn't my problem.

If you teach your children how to think for themselves, then good for them and bravo for you, but I think you misrepresent yourself by calling that "instill values". Perhaps values to you are teaching children how to think that way, which I have to agree on, and it is a problem how so many parents have a problem with this. But I see it as a survival tool, not really a "value" - maybe so because theists tend to distort that word for their own purpose.

I don't even remember precisely what you initially attacked me for, and I no longer care - you probably misunderstood me as much as I have you.

BUT...

IF you are going to hold the position:
Quote:I notice you didn't answer my questions. Please do so now, or fuck off. Idiot.
then you can go fuck yourself on the White House fence! Whether or not I have any children is none of your business, nor is it of any relevance to my position as one who survived a miserable childhood at the hands of theists, fuck you oh so very much! I'm making it my business how others raise their kids today because they have no right to treat them as their personal possessions - when they are done doing their work on them and they are released into society, I'm the one who will have to share it with them. Not that I don't have less than the deepest empathy for the children of harmfully overbearing parents, when that's the case!
Mr. Hanky loves you!
