[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It definitely is a lot of work.  Between modern science and the lack of any supporting material evidence indicating these myths have even an iota of truth to them, the only way to perpetuate them is to indoctrinate children and instill fear of free thinking early.  I must ensure my kids get a solid dose of brainwashing at least weekly to prevent succumbing to logical thinking. [/quote]

Tell me about it!  Its easy when the kids are young, but as they get older and start to ask questions, I struggle to overcome the cognitive dissonance. [/quote]

What ages?  It’s good that they are asking questions!  That means they are interested in learning about their religion.

:D You soooo understood the point of the original message[/quote]

No.  I got it.  You think that if kids ask questions there are no answers.

The reality is that theological discussions with tweens and teens are actually really interesting, especially if they are at a different place in their faith than you are.

It's not that there are no answers, there are only answers that are validated and logical. All others are perpetuating mythology. [/quote]

Sounds like you have never had a conversation with your teenager about the meaning of life.  Or if you did, you did more talking than listening.  These aren’t validated and logical conversations.

I have. It was an easy talk to have. I'm not failing at parenting by teaching them to believe in myths and superstition. [/quote]

I think you are failing at parenting if you think you can make your teenagers believe anything or that they will believe something just because you believe it.

LOL.  The PP never said anything about making their kids "believe"![/quote]

Right - They just want their kids to follow orders.[/quote]

It's the true believer way. Unquestioning adherence to rules men came up with two millennia ago. [/quote]
