[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I can never understand why parents need their children to follow the same religion as them. Or even follow religion at all. It just breeds resentment to be harassed into learning prayers and going to places you have no interest in. If a child wants to enter a religion out of their own interest, then That is fine. If a child wants to be an atheist, that should also be fine. More often than not, I think this whole “my child needs to practise my religion” business is very much based on the parents’ need to keep appearances in the community. It’s fake and disingenuous while also psychologically damaging to the poor kid who didn’t choose that belief system to begin with[/quote] I'm an atheist, but it seems to me that if you believe your religion is the way to get to heaven, you'd want your child to follow it. Or if you've gotten peace and comfort from following your religion, you'd want your child to have that, too. [/quote]
