[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don’t get it. You’re forcing your own religion and beliefs into your child. Your mother is doing the same thing. Either you see it as abusive (which many of us do) or you don’t see it as remotely abusive to push your religious views into others. You can’t have it both ways depending on which one is more convenient for you at the time.[/quote]

You seem to just hate all religions. [/quote]

I don't "hate all religions". Adults can believe whatever they want. I don't respect people who believe random strange things that someone tells them to believe, but it's their choice to do it.

I do hate people who call children religious or try to force children into believing their beliefs. Kids get killed because their parents put some religious label on them - something the kids did not choose and that does not define them in any way.. It amazes me that those people then think they're on some moral high ground. I find it really appalling.[/quote]

Do you believe in transmitting any kind of cultural values at all or do you think kids should be reared as blank slates until they're 18 and then they will suddenly choose culture, religion, language, food, etc?  For many people their religious beliefs are as or more deeply ingrained as their culture. Of course they rear their children in their beliefs. We all do it. You do it too, if you have kids. Even if you are raising them to be atheist or agnostic or to disdain religion you are still imparting a viewpoint. It's impossible to do otherwise.[/quote]
