I did find out that when he was younger, his carpool would listen to bible stories on the way to school. I didn’t say anything oto my son but did politely remind the carpool parents to refrain from listening to religious stories and trying to “save” my child.

As long as no adult is trying to teach your child, they’ll soon forget.

Wait a minute - you had the balls to tell another parent what they could and couldn’t listen to in their car?!? Holy sh!t this one takes the cake.

You don’t like what they listen to, you leave the carpool. End of story.

Yes I don’t want my kids to listen to religious propaganda.

You sound unbelievably intolerant.

Should I listen to podcasts about how religion is stupid? Would that have okay with you?

Absolutely ok with me. You are 100% allowed to listen to whatever you want in your car. If I don’t like it, I look for another carpool option for my kid. But in this case, I wouldn’t pull my kid because I don’t mind her being exposed to other schools of thought.

And please please explain how I am the one who is intolerant.

It’s called FREEDOM FROM religion. You’re entitled not to hear the ravings of some religious nutcase. This is not hard to understand, but I’m unsurprised that you’re struggling with this concept.

How would you feel if my child told your child that there is no God? It’s the exact same principle. I’m sure you’d be complaining bitterly.

This.

What do you mean? It would be fine. Lots of people are atheist. I would also be fine if a Hindu person told my kids their religious stories and if a Muslim told theirs. Everyone is entitled to their own beliefs. It is your job to raise your child. No one else’s. You cannot control what the kids say on the playground. If you want that controlled of an environment, you need to homeschool. If you beliefs (or non beliefs) are so shaky that one child discussing them is upsetting (or makes you bitter?), you need stronger beliefs.

there is a difference between telling some nonsense Jesus story versus saying gays will burn in hell because the Old Testament says so. Or my dc being told they are “saved” yet. I mean if you want to fill up your kids with bible stories, I don’t care. But if you spread your intolerant beliefs on my kid or uSe them to shame kids who are transgender, for example, i would Make a massive fuss at the school. Most religiOus types think it’s okay to force their beliefs on people because you “can’t control kids”. Untrue.

This is a dumb argument. Are you never going to look at statues of Ancient Greece or Aztec art because it conflicts with your religion?
