Former believers, did you feel religion scammed you?

New International Version (NIV)

44 “No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws them, and I will raise them up at the last day.

It's obviously not my job.

You've just demonstrated how well you can cherry pick. At least we're not surprised. Why don't you be a little honest with us and tell us what you really think? Do you A) accept the scriptures Rahul quoted in the context given or B) actually believe in raising your kids to be free thinkers, as your own quoted scripture would have us believe about you? Or is it C) scripture doesn't actually motivate your decisions, but you pick the ones that support them?

Yeah, he did a lot better than you ever have too.

This got a chuckle out of me. I never knew I was in competition with anyone, but thanks for showing us where else your assumptions extend to.
