[quote=Anonymous]Love, kindness and compassion are a feature of many different religions and also of humanism.   "Immersion" in the form of seven-day-a-week indoctrination in a particular religion is not necessary.  People obviously pick up love, kindness and compassion in many ways without immersion. I bet you could stop sending your kids to church right now and they'd still grow up  being loving, kind and compassionate.  Many people have accomplished it.

And let's face it - many religions and certainly Catholicism, teach that there is one superior way of understanding -- and that is through that one religion.  The religion is teaching much more than love, kindness and compassion.  It teaches an eternal afterfile in either heaven or hell. and that certain kinds of people can't marry or have the kind of sex that comes naturally to them because the god they believe in doesn't allow it.

That's not part of teaching your kids to be loving, kind and compassionate.  It's religious indocrination.

And who's to say that" faith and god's love" are all they really need in life.  That works for you, but is meaningless to a lot of people - inlcuding perhaps your kids, once they get old enough to think for themselves - which they will eventually do, despite your efforts to confine them in a Catholic cocoon.[/quote]
