[quote=Anonymous][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]

Yes, I do, and I do not care what you call it.  I am responsible for raising my child and will be called to task later for doing a good job, so I don't follow Your, Random Internet Poster's, Prescriptions for What Is And What Is Not A Good Way to Teach Your Child Religion.  Good luck to you!  [/quot]

you'll be "called to task?" by God?  do you mean you're indoctrinating your kids with beleifs you have no evidence for because you're afraid that if you don't, then you'll be punished in the after life by God?  If what God wants people to believe is so good for them, why does god have to threaten loving parents to get them to teach their kids about it? [/quote]
I am not the pp to whom you are responding, but I am a person of faith who teaches my kids about God and we most certainly do not teach OR BELIEVE that God is going to punish us. You do realize that not everyone of faith believes the same thing?[/quote]
