kılıç_mehmet My parents (I'm American BTW), were very protective. They taught abstinence, they opted me out of sexual education at school, they didn't allow me to go to mixed sex parties, wear racy clothing, they didn't let me watch dirty parts on movies or movies about witches, they didn't let me do a lot of things. So, when the inevitable happened and I found freedom with turning 18: I did EVERYTHING I wasn't allowed to do, because I felt I'd missed out on life. You know, had they let me go to sex ed and learn about STDs or go to planned parenthood classes at school to learn about what it's like being a single mom: I might have been more conservative with my actions. Instead, I went crazy. Same thing happens to the Amish here. The kids go nuts when they're finally allowed to. Shit if I'd been taught about the side effects in ones' life as a consequence of taking drugs rather than just being told "drugs are bad" with no explanation: I wouldn't have thought I was being duped out of a good thing and taken a bunch of them. If I'd been allowed to pierce my ears and stuff I wouldn't have gotten my TOngue pierced at 18 just for the hell of it (I didn't even know what it was for I just liked them). If I'd been able to find out who I am without having to experiment because I'd been so suppressed all my life: maybe I wouldn't have been a stripper. Just sayin.
Going into life blind is the worst way to go. Please educate your children, and teach them what they need to know so that you can trust them to make decisions on their own that are good choices for them, ON THEIR OWN. Teach them to think, and they'll know how to act.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.
