Every single parent on the face of this planet that is actually in his or her child's life teaches it their beliefs without or without knowing it. Are we going to start tearing up families now because parents are teaching children their religion? For it to be abuse, the child has to be hurt in some way. You could argue that the child's opportunities are fewer for believing stupidity, but a poor child's opportunities are fewer. Is being poor child abuse? I'm sorry, but this is as batshit as Christian's telling us what we can say to our kids.
I`d like to see someone get a job and actualy be a usefull and productive member of sociaty, when that someone is nothing but a biblequoting, intolerant moron who can hardly spell and has problems understanding the most simple concepts.
If one raises a child to become a completly ideotic moron it isnt raping that child - but it will certainly bring it into a uncomfortable situation in the futur.
Nowhere in this thread did anyone demand that "families should be ripped apart".
But what is knowlege and what is not, shouldnt be determened by a bunch of loons.
Cirliculum should be set by akademics and professionals, and a educational sector should be built arround the concept of bringing forth inteligent and therefor productive members of sociaty.
The possibility of deliberatly raising a ignorant idiot shouldnt exist.
