Is it wrong to teach kids about Hell?
#37
RE: Is it wrong to teach kids about Hell?
(General rant)

Remember that if you "teach" your religious beliefs as fact to your young children, you are literally forcing your beliefs upon another human being. And worse, one that is mostly reliant on you for accurate information about the world. If you're prepared to own your beliefs as such to adults, why would you change the formula with your children?

Can a young child really not function safely in the world without a load of religious stuff thrust into their head "as fact"? How about letting them be a child, learning some stuff and being happy, and then seeing what they make of it all after that? It's just not the same as telling kids that the oven will burn them or cars will kill them; if you think that it is, and it's essential for a young child's wellbeing, then I'm afraid you're in a state of severe delusion.
