[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] 3) Your mom had a right to take you to church. [/quote]

Sure. But it wasn’t PP’s choice.

Parents have a right and a responsibility to raise their kids as they see fit.  Are you going to tell parents they can’t take their kids to church? Because if so, you do not have a right to do that, and parents do have the right to take their kids to church. I don’t see a parent raising their child in their family church tradition as “pushing their child into religion.” The child has every right once they leave home to reject religion.

Pp didn’t like to be invited to church functions, but also felt “excluded” or treated differently by southern church going people in her community. Basically the church people can’t win. If they leave pp alone- they are treating her differently. If they invite her to their church, they are “insisting she worship God.”

You are certainly free to raise your kids however you want. No one said otherwise.

But it is, by definition, “pushing them into religion” if you aren’t giving them an option.
