indoctrination of children
October 22, 2014 at 9:21 pm
There should be no such thing as a Christian child, just a child of Christian parents. Then let them make their own mind up about which religion, or not, they want to follow.

I agree but you won't convince the religious of that.

A small percentage of children sacrificed to Baal isn't necessarily a bad thing . . .

That was so stupid it just gave me cancer.... Oh wait.Confused

..So you believe we should let our children 'free range'/do what they want till when? They start public school and they are indoctrinated by the goverment/public school system? What if the schools are teaching something crazy like it's ok to kill babies if they are young enough, and it is ok to poke other boys in the but-toll, but only if they say it is ok?

Because leaving our children to be educated by the state in all things, always turns out well.

No.

Like the detestable god of the Tishbites, or whoever it was the prophet Elijah was pissed off at that week.


Sheesh.

since when does public schools talk about abortion. in fact the bible talked about abortion and said it was okay... if an isrealite had a child from anyone who wasn't an isrealite they were fine in doing so.

schools do indeed talk about abortion I learn the term Roe vs Wade from school. https://www.google.com/search?q=roe+v+wa...gws_rd=ssl

Plus you do understand there are no more Old Testament Jews right? That means no child is being taught that in any religious setting.

A parents job is NOT to pre-indoctrinate the child for fear of later indoctrination, as a parent we should just teach them to approach everything logically and skeptically.

Teach them to question instead of serving the answer on a silver platter.
