[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I do not feel comforted by a god at all. I think if there is one, god is too busy to pay attention to me. And when someone dies I'm either comforted that they're "done" (they were old and finished living) or they're not tortured anymore (eating disorder, addiction, mental illness), or I'm not, but I miss them just the same.

You're trying to decide that not only should your kids believe in a god, but how they should feel about its presence. That's ... a lot.[/quote]

Parents raise their kids as they choose. When children are adults, they can change their behavior and opinions based on their own preferences.

Do you think strangers, tv, the internet, or what should be a larger and more important influence on kids than their own parents? Parents are the primary educators children have, have complete responsibility for their welfare, and love them more than anyone else in the world. They make every important decision for their children, including medical decisions. [/quote]

Yes -- parents make all the important decisions pertaining to their children, including medical decisions.  It's too bad, in my opinion, that some parents choose to indoctrinate their children into a religion.[/quote]

Parents raise their children as they wish.

Do you think you know how to raise the children of religious people better?

All Jewish, Muslim, Christian, etc, all religious people are wrong and you know better than they do, as they raise their children?

How did you receive and cultivate this amazing knowledge of how every child in the world should be raised? Just something you decided you had, that you are right and every parent who is religious is wrong?

Wow, you are really amazing.[/quote]
