Religious indoctrination of children

[LarissaAnn]

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. [

There are several Christians who choose to home school and isolate their children from the world simply so they won't be exposed to anything that might turn them from religion, it's really, really sick. I'm not saying ALL Christians do this, the number of those who do is probably very low compared to normal Christian parents, but it does happen and religion and those who follow it waaaaaaay too closely, are the reasons it happens.

See, though I don't believe in or care for religion anymore, as a former Christian I do know the enrichment it can bring into one's life, but I do think it is possible to follow it SO much that it becomes an obsession and any obsession can lead to unhealthy behavior.

In the Christian sense we get the "Rosary Brigade" as I call them, protesting outside Planned Parenthood, turning a total BLIND EYE to the fact that not every woman going in there is getting an abortion but yet they fix their "burn your soul, you heathen" gazes at every woman who walks into their doors. Or Westboro Baptist Church for another example. It is possible to be TOO much into religion. I just think people should leave church in church, carrying your religion in your heart and don't preach it to those who want nothing to do with it, do the good it does teach, ignore the bad it teaches, KEEP IT OUT OF THE GOVERNMENT AND LAWS, and most importantly live and let live.

Reverse the situation and look at fanatical muslims terrorists who have taken lives, they lived, ate, breathed, and slept Islam, don't you think they could have had a healthy dose of stepping back a bit and letting other things into their life besides just religion?
