The fearful poster earlier should know that if you teach your children about Christ from the beginning, actually [i]believe[/i] the Gospel, and model Christ-like behavior as a parent (and friend, spouse, brother/sister, etc.), [b]the chances of them continuing in the faith are really quite good.[/b] But if you encourage all sorts of "spiritual questioning," which is really just a way to deny Christ, you probably [i]will[/i] end up with who-knows-what.[/quote]

That is actually false info.  People are leaving organized religion and adults are especially leaving fundamentalist religions after being threatened as children by what would await them if they questioned Christ.  Even if the chances were very good, if it still asking a mother to give birth with the threat that her beloved child will go to hell.[/quote]

Again with the children in hell?  :roll: [/quote]

Again with the glossing over of false information.  So far no one has an answer for the prospective mother whose protecting her children from hell by not having any  -- except for having lots of kids, increasing the chances that some will accept Christ and get to heaven.[/quote]

I'm the one who suggested she seek professional help. Do you think DCUM is better equipped to help her? [/quote]

[b]I also think she's in serious need of professional help.  I think DCUM can help her[/b] and others see how ludicrous is the concept of not having children to avoid seeing them be punished by a god who gave them the "free will" to not  believe in him.  I feel terribly sorry for her, but am glad she brought this concept to light, so others can see how horrible certain Christian beliefs are.[/quote]

Wait a minute. This woman is "in serious need of professional help" and in the next sentence you lay out that DCUM can help her?! An anonymous, online, parents board can and should help an poster based on one post? Beyond suggesting she seek PROFESSIONAL assistance (secular or nonsecular) we should conduct some protocol to aid in her issues?

You need to take a step back.[/quote]

different kinds of help from different kinds of sources - both useful. [/quote]

I completely disagree. For the untrained to try and "help" a person with a debilitating emotional issue can actually be damaging. But you don't really care about her, do you? You're just using her to make a point.

Humanist indeed.[/quote]
