[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get the how useful it is for humans to have morality and love of God but find it questionable to teach kids about just one religion because that's what I was taught by my parents who were taught by theirs.

I wonder if as parents its our responsibility to introduce them to all major religions, as well as concepts of agnosticism and atheism?[/quote]

I think it's our responsibility to raise decent, moral children. Many parents have chosen exposure to one religion as a way of doing that, but there are many ways to accomplish the same goal, as many parents have, with and without religion.

Personally, I don't see the benefits of instilling "love of God" into kids. God is an invisible, supernatural being that many good people, including some children, don't believe in.  Better, to instill love of, and respect for each other and the law. [/quote]

I agree but concept of god is comforting when facing depression, troubles or grief.[/quote]

God is comforting to some, but not all.  As another poster mentioned, whisky and  opiates can work.  Also, a nice walk in the woods or a good movie or a talk with a good friend or therapist[/quote]
