Religious indoctrination of children

[LarissaAnn]

I said nothing of the sort, please read what I say, not what you want to believe I said. I'm fully aware that a lot of atheist here have christian parents, what I said was that most of you apparently did not listen to them, the burden I place on the child.

Being Christian doesn't automatically equal good parent. I knew one guy a year younger than me whose parents were SOOOO "devoutly religious" as you would say, "religious fanatic" as I would say that he was home schooled and so isolated because of it that he had little friends, or contact with people not approved by his parents, and was so brainwashed that he felt ashamed of his own natural urges and guilty every time he had the slightest sexual thought. The guy had SERIOUS issues because he was brought up so Christian. That kid SHOULD have broke away and not listened to his parents. Even as a former Christian I know that kind of extreme is not necessary and that people can be "Good Christians" without being THAT strict to where you psychologically harm your own child in the name of religion.

If you LIVE, EAT, BREATHE, AND SLEEP nothing but religion it will ruin, rather than enhance your life...as with any "obsession"
