Cool story, bro. Needs more dragons.

Oh, that's rich, coming from Mr. "I have the Truth"! Why would I deliberately expose a child to something that I consider to be a psychologically harmful mythology?
Care to enumerate how many non-Christian religious assemblies you've taken your children to? I suspect that the number is at or very close to zero. Do they know what a Hindu puja is? Do they know the Wiccan Rede? Do they know what the 5 pillars of Islam are? Ever taken them to a Buddhist temple of any denomination? Do they know how to perform a blót to Allfather Oðinn? Do they know what the Guru Granth Sahib is? How about the Daodejing? Ever taken them to a smudging ceremony? Would they recognize a Shinto shrine if they saw one? Do they know why there's a little red shrine with oranges and incense sticks at the Chinese restaurant? Do they even know what the Shema Israel is? (FFS, could they even tell the difference between Futhark runes, hiragana, Chinese ideograms, Arabic script, Devanagari script and Hebrew?)
Let's try something simpler. Have you taken them to a Catholic mass (Roman Catholic or Orthodox)? A Unitarian church? A Quaker service? What do they know about Christian Science? Mennonites? Mormonism? Jehovah's Witnesses?
My parents were not overtly religious, but I would never, ever blame them for my lack of belief or hold them accountable for any consequences thereof. I did plenty of research into religions over the past 50+ years because of my own curiosity and I can answer affirmatively to all of the above questions.
As I said, my daughter is an adult and is perfectly capable of doing her own religious explorations if she feels the urge. The fact that you think I should have dragged her to a Christian church suggests to me that your own children are being indoctrinated into your particular beliefs rather than allowed to seek their own spirituality.

Stuff your hateful eternal torture mythology up your constipated ass, GC. Your hell -- You burn in it.
Quote:Your nightmare threat has gotten you to this point not me, please take responsibility for you action and words.
I take 100% responsibility for all my actions and all my words and stand by them unconditionally. I do indeed want you to fail, and there's not a lot you can do to change that.
