Religious indoctrination of children

[Godscreated]

I said nothing of the sort, please read what I say, not what you want to believe I said. I'm fully aware that a lot of atheist here have christian parents, what I said was that most of you apparently did not listen to them, the burden I place on the child.

Being Christian doesn't automatically equal good parent. I knew one guy a year younger than me whose parents were SOOOO "devoutly religious" as you would say, "religious fanatic" as I would say that he was home schooled and so isolated because of it that he had little friends, or contact with people not approved by his parents, and was so brainwashed that he felt ashamed of his own natural urges and guilty every time he had the slightest sexual thought. The guy had SERIOUS issues because he was brought up so Christian. That kid SHOULD have broke away and not listened to his parents. Even as a former Christian I know that kind of extreme is not necessary and that people can be "Good Christians" without being THAT strict to where you psychologically harm your own child in the name of religion.

If you LIVE, EAT, BREATHE, AND SLEEP nothing but religion it will ruin, rather than enhance your life...as with any "obsession"

I agree, home schooling isolates children from what's actually going on around them. I do not support home schooling nor christian parents who shelter their children, I've also seen the negative effect it has on children and think it's sad.
I do not believe to live, eat, breath and sleep christianity is being obsessed, I do believe it's wrong to misunderstand christianity and live, eat, breath and sleep it and then force this misunderstanding on the children. I often state that others on this site should study scripture before they comment on it, I am more adamant about christians studying the scriptures so they can see the truth of God's message, to often christians forget to see the love of Christ in their lives.

I agree whole heartedly with this




AND this one....you fucking arshole G-C...THIS is what YOU sign up for??

OK for the last time I'm going to explain this psalm, I'm tired of doing this simply because you and others refuse to read the entire psalm and try to understand it, this is why I ask people to STUDY scripture before they comment on it. Please quit your cherry picking, grow-up and be sensible.
This is not what God is saying, it was written by an Israeli who was in great despair and wanted revenge on the people who had conquered them. He wanted them to feel his pain and this is what he believed would equal his pain. Yes God inspired the psalm, so that Israel would always remember what they had suffered, He wanted them to see the despair they had suffered. If you can not understand this then I guess there is no hope of us to ever have an intelligent conversation.
