[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

We did that. Christianity won.[/quote]

Christianity won quickly and effectively. The other “religions” were overwhelmed and relegated to obscurity. The people posting here who are hostile to Christianity are historically ignorant and do not realize that fact. We are speaking of the Western world in this context.

The flip side is hostile to Christianity/religion posters know this, and are gnashing their teeth with impotent rage. Thus, the “we should teach everyone’s kids about all religions! IT’S NOT FAIR” posters whining here very often.

No: if you want to offer an alternative and want that alternative populated significantly, go for it. I suspect that people understand that and thus the hatred here exhibited for Christianity.

The poster who repeatedly mentions the decline of Christianity in the United States will post soon. Ok.

Check out the growth Christianity im Africa, Asia. Christianity is growing worldwide. A humble carpenter was tortured and executed by His corrupt government- but He lives all over the world today. Amen!

(That ties in with the “we should ban all missionaries” posts that rear their delusional thread heads here often. No, we aren’t going to ban missionaries. You don’t get to dictate to the world what is done because you disagree with something.)[/quote]

It’s not delusional to point out how unethical some missionaries are.

And some ”belief systems” spread faster than others. eg. Q

Your personal hostility towards Christianity does not mean Christian missionaries are unethical. The world operates on a scale that may or may not coincide with your personal ethical standards. That you don’t comprehend that fact is also a you problem.

Again- no child or adult, parent or otherwise -worldwide-has to agree with you or what you choose to believe. You have no right to decide anything for anyone but yourself. You have no power to choose anything for anyone. You are in charge of you. You are in charge of your minor child/children. Other people are in charge of themselves and their minor child/children.

Stop trying to force your values/morals/choices on people. It’s delusional and you need to realize that. It’s borderline pathological to believe you have any power to do these things.

To OP -- Thanks for asking a provocative question that has generated many thoughtful responses.[/quote]

Yes, pretending you (or anyone else) has the right or responsibility to demand parents raise their children to the standards of anon, rando internet trolls certainly is provocative. Other words to describe this thread are delusional, dumb, and ignorant.

Nobody decides for kids but their parents. Don’t like that simple fact? It’s a you problem.
