[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am 10:01 and 10:07 and see both posters as indoctrinating their children, though one is much more mild than the other.

In fact, one is so mild that it almost doesn't seem like indoctrination, except for this one line:  "Showing your kids that faith, and Gods love are all you really need in this world."

Your kids may find, as many good people have, that having a particular religious faith and believing in a God who provides love are totally unneccesary to their well-being.[/quote]

Yes, but there is nothing wrong with telling your children, "this is a guiding principle in our family." They may grow up and away from these principles but the parents aren't misguided for creating a family around deeply held beliefs.[/quote]

"This is a guiding principle" is different from "faith, and Gods love are all you really need in this world." (unless the guiding principle is that  God's love is all that is needed in life.)  If my comments here helped formulate a different view, I feel my time here has been well spent.  If you're still referring to God's love, I suggest  putting it in such a way that it applies to your own life - that's it's a guiding principle for you.  The'll get the idea that's it's important and also that they are not expected to think the exact same thing.[/quote]
