No, you've been TOLD there has to be a beginning point, and you FEEL like there should be a beginning point. You KNOW nothing of the sort.

Dinosaur Train is awesome! I actually watched it with my daughter when she was younger. There was nothing in it I couldn't accept to be true. It just teaches kids what scientists have recently discovered, and some of their best guesses, which they even explain how those theories are formed and why, about one of kids favorite subjects, dinosaurs!
I've watched a number of times to see what they say and they claim much as fact that in reality isn't. Don't try to excuse their behavior, that type of behavior is what Christians will reject every time.

Pot, meet kettle.

But if I 100% think that God is real and that Jesus was God made man who came down and taught us things and died for us, of course I'm going to teach my child about Him. Its insulting and narrow minded that you say i will be abusing my future child and that you think my mom and dad abused me, just because you believe something different.
I don't think Mohammed or Buddha or Joseph Smith were anything more than completely regular men, and I think their stories are completely false, but i would never call Muslims, Buddhists, or Mormons child abusers for conveying to their children the religious belief that they fully believe are true.
So, whether or not what you're teaching your kids is factual or not (independent of what you believe) is not as important as telling them what you believe is fact.
I'm not sure what you mean about "teaching them as fact."
Obviously, religious belief requires a certain amount faith and hope, because there is no tangible concrete proof.
I'm not going to lie to my child and tell them that I've seen Jesus or God or whatever. But i do plan on explaining why i have full confidence in their existance.
And i do plan on raising my kids, if I have any, in the faith and with chirstian principles. At some point during their growth out of childhood they will, of course, have to decide for themselves whether they share my confidence in the existence of God or not. Just as all children will have to eventually decide for themselves whether they agreed with all the principles and values their parents brought them up with, not just pertaining to religion.
When you say this is child abuse, you are accusing a very very large group of people, most of whom are perfectly good and decent people, of being child abusers and of abusing their own children. Few things are worse than abusing children, and you are putting that extremely ugly label on good people simply because you don't have the same beliefs as them. I don't see how that is at all logical, much less tolerant or charitable.

Tee hee, ok, deluded lying hypocrite cunt. G'day.
Meh, you already called my mom and dad child abusers. Call me a cunt all you want, there's nothing more nasty you can say to me than to accuse 2 good people I love so dearly of abusing children.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
