Religious indoctrination of children

[5thHorseman]

The Bible says that children need discipline and training. Our finest and most intellectual men on the planet are always men of God.

It's not indoctrination when you're teaching the love of the almighty Creator.

It is indoctrination you fool.


Hume
Descartes
Spinoza
Marx
Russell
Sartre
Foucault
Chomsky

Sartre and Russell could both lay claim to finest Philosopher of the 20th century. The others, bar Chomsky were the finest of their generations too, in deeply religious times at that! Quite a feat, wouldn't you agree?

Darwin
Einstein
Schrodinger
Oppenheimer
Bohr
Hawking
Feynman
Susskind.

Are you now seeing how your weak claim fails? The 2 most important scientists of the last 300 years were atheists.

I would go as far as saying that had Newton been alive today, he too would be an atheist.

[Faith No More]

Newton an atheist? The guy that most likely died a virgin? Isn't the whole point of being an atheist so you can have lots of dirty sex without God looking over your shoulder?

[Phil]

Its very rare for me to feel this disgusted. But when people genuinely think that the assault of children is a good thing I feel sick.

Well what would you expect from a religion preached by paedophiles?

That read a book that has Genesis in it which has been called a textbook for incest. Remember the GIGO principle? You know the one - Garbage in, garbage out - what did you expect?

Deuteronomy 21:18-21 is not about small children, a son in those days was considered a man by his middle teens, this is a verse about adults children having no respect for the family and trying to tear down the family name. In those days the family name meant everything to all people and to disrespect it was a extremely bad thing to do. If you can't study scriptures at least study history.

And thats what you consider justification? What the fuck? How could anybody respect such a disgusting book.

Yes that happened in the past but thats why we move on. Now throw out the fucking bible and move on.

Proverbs 23:13-14 the word beat has a literal translation of "smite" which means to strike and as the passage states one is not to beat the child to death. I received several whippings as a child, and I can assure you, if it had not be for that punishment, that I now know was done because I was loved, I would have been in trouble all my life. So if it has done no other any good it did for me, and I'm glad to have grown up to be a responsible adult.

Okay so as long as they don't die its all good? Thats completely fucked up. Once again archaic book with archaic morals.. Disgusting.

You should grow-up and become a responsible adult, here's for hoping.

This is a sad indictment of your parent's parenting skills and your character.

You have no idea what my parents were like, your disrespect for others shows how badly you listened to your parents. I'm grateful for my parents and their wonderful parenting abilities.

Nah, if they were wonderful parents, they would have aborted you at age 10.

[KichigaiNeko]

You are in no position to critique anyone's parents G-C. From our perspective yours did you a great disservice. End of story.

News flash. They weren't so wonderful if they beat you.

They did not beat me, they punished me for disobeying them, they taught me to have respect for authority, something lacking within society today.

I see it the other way around.

The standard defense of an abusive childhood - My parents weren't abusive, they gave me what I deserved.

I know they whipped you which is not good parenting, and I won't apologize for saying so.
