[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I teach my children what I think is good for him/her.  I teach her to brush her teeth, for example.  I teach her to eat healthfully, etc.  And I teach her religious.  I impart all my knowledge as to how to be a good human being and to have a worthwhile life, and that includes all of the above.[/quote]

YOu mention religion, but no mention of particular tenets of religion,  For instance -- do you teach her that she will be eternally punished if she doesn't follow God's law?  That God prefers people who follow a certain religion in certain ways?  That she should believe that God sent his son to sacrifice himself for us to allow us to achieve eternal life with God?  that God, his son and Moses performed miracles that she should believe happened as a matter of faith?

Those are examples of indoctrination.[/quote]

LOLOL....you could say this for anything anyone believes....whateva!!![/quote]

Not at all.  Much of waht people believe in based on evidence, or things they choose to believe on their own without being taught and without being threatened with punishment if they choose not to believe.  People use to believe the earth was flat, based on what they could see.  Now we know that the earth is round.  It's accepted based on evidence.  Indoctrination requires no evidence -- just faith and blind obedience.[/quote]
