You're wrong. I'm a father, and have practical experience.

I'm not sure how teaching your child to fear the wrath of an unseen deity, teaching him to fear eternal damnation, is healthy. Perhaps you would go into detail?

If he doesn't become a christian, well that's great." If I think it's a bad thing to be a muslim, or whatever, then I'm going to tell them that.
That's nice. Just stop kidding yourself and think you're doing your child a favor, because you're not. You're teaching him that might makes right; you're teaching him to not question an authority figure; you're teaching him that he is worthy of nothing but self-hatred.
Why you think those lessons are good things to learn is beyond me .... but hey, keep his ass out of jail and I'll be happy.
