[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it extremely creepy that some people posting here think they have any say into how other people raise their children.

If you think you have authority over other people’s kids, tell me how you exert or exercise that authority in real life. Also, what would you do differently if someone told you they had a say in how you raised your children?[/quote]

When you think something is child abuse and brainwashing, unhealthy for both the individual and society, you don't think you have a right to express that thought?

Sorry but your bronze age bullsh*t hurts the world, and some of us are done sitting by passively while cults perpetuate pain and suffering.  And no that is not hyperbole.[/quote]

You are in the wrong country, if you think you or anyone else is going to classify a family being religious and practicing religious freedom as cults that perpetuate pain and suffering. America was founded on freedom, and religious freedom is among those freedoms. You have no moral or legal right to stop people from practicing their religion in the United States. You are severely flawed in your premise that “some of you” are “done sitting by” and going to take away every American’s right to practice their religion.

The First Amendment of the United States Constitution protects the freedom of religion in the United States:

Establishment Clause
Prohibits the government from establishing a religion. The Lemon test, set forth in Lemon v. Kurtzman (1971), governs what constitutes an establishment of religion.

Free Exercise Clause
Protects the right of citizens to practice their religion as they choose, as long as it doesn't violate public morals or a compelling government interest.

Some other examples of religious freedom in the United States include:
The right to collect unemployment benefits if you lose your job because your employer forces you to work on a religious holiday 
The right to operate a church without government interference, even if only a few people share your beliefs 
The right to use public property to promote your religious beliefs 
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act protects employees from religious discrimination in the workplace 
The United States' commitment to religious freedom has been strong, as shown by the 2023 Religious Freedom Index score of 69, the highest ever.

If you don’t like religion, don’t be religious. Simple. Leave others alone. You aren’t in charge of their minds or their decisions. Focus on your own life.[/quote]

DP but the first amendment you cite is also freedom from religion.

I think it’s funny you’re saying we should leave religious people alone when it’s religious people shoving their beliefs into our political system, using at a reason to ban books at schools, etc.

You.leave.us.alone. Practice your religion on your own time. Teach your kids your beliefs. But stop insisting society function in line with those beliefs. [/quote]

You should read gotquestions.org to educate yourself about Christianity, you and every atheist who spouts their opinions that are incorrect about Christianity. That way you will have the basic information and understanding about the religion you don’t believe in. And the God you don’t believe in. It’s ok to not believe, but at least you will understand correctly about what you don’t believe in. [/quote]
It's pretty sad to see you getting your religious information from some random website. Don't you attend church, or read the bible yourself?

Also, don't christians hate when atheists derail their threads? But here you are doing it on an atheist thread? Also likely violating TOS of the site by copy and pasting whole pages of garbage info from that website?[/quote]

It’s a known troll. They just copy & paste pages and pages of off-topic and inaccurate content from various websites.

Just report the posts.

I am a Christian who believes that atheists are welcome to their opinions, and are guaranteed freedom from religion and freedom of speech.

However, when an atheist posts something that is not true about Christianity, I do believe that I can give information that informs them and any readers about what Christianity really believes. [/quote]

Which of the over 45,000 sects are you talking about ?   How do you know YOURS is the only right one lol? 
[/quote]

Faith.

[b]The majority of Christians believe what was posted from gotquestions.org. [/b]

If they have different beliefs, that’s their beliefs and I respect that. 
[/quote]

Really?? I didn't believe some of that stuff when I was a Christian.

So you respect the beliefs of other religious people?  how about atheists?  hopefully you respect their beliefs too.  It's a free country after all.  We don't have to have any religion in the US.
