Fuck off and take your barbaric religion with you.
The kid is being mentally raped by his own parents who think their fairy tales are more important than his life.
Even a dickhead like you is hard pressed to make excuses for them.
You must be lacking in your mental capacity Min, I have not defended the parents and said so in my post. The comment I made in the post was we, I did not know both sides of the story and could not make a judgement either way. Now that DT has shed more light on the problem it seems that the parents have gone overboard and are being unreasonable. If you had cared to read what I posted about the contract you would see that I totally disagree with that approach. Forcing one to God only makes matters worse and I do not think that is what God wants either. As I have stated many times God desires unconditional love, love that comes from the heart not a twisted arm. I'm sure that his parents are not very well read in scriptures or they would see that what they are trying to do is wrong in God's eyes. They may think if they allow him to quit going to church that they will suffer in the next life. Here's the reason I say this, Jesus told His disciples that if anyone withheld a child from Him that it would be better for them to put a millstone around their neck and jump into the river. If this is what they believe then they are wrong, they have given him the opportunity to search out God and he has rejected God so the burden is on him not them. I still say until someone besides Red finds out what the parents have to say then anything we say is speculation, everyone deserves the right to be heard, this is a basic right in America and should be through out the world. I agree with Tack, he should take the contract to the pastor of the church so the two parties involved can have a peaceful talk about this, but without knowing the parents side this could get him canned to the street.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
