No, Randy. They don't have to believe. Only to learn. Which is necessary.
Quote:They are threatened with going to the principal's office, losing their recess, staying after school, and other forms of immediate public humiliation such as having to stand in the corner, write "I will not talk in class." on the blackboard 100 times, etc. In my day, we were even paddled by the teacher and the principal.
We do this every day all over the world, and no one gives it a second thought.
I don't know what kind of school you went to, but I've only seen the above things in American tv shows.
If that does happen, it's not comparable to threatening with eternal torture. Eternity in pain, Randy. Doesn't compare to a visit to the principal's office.

And that is representative of all catholics and the catholic church how? I'm talking about the organization. Not individual cases.
Quote:What are those reasons?
I'm not fucking talking about it with someone like you.
Quote:What is moral about NOT telling someone the truth about a real danger?
You don't know it's a real danger but threaten them anyways.
What is moral about threatening children with being tormented for eternity to get them to obey?
