I Think Indoctrinating Children With Atheism Is Child Abuse

@DR8855
How would it do that? I was raised in an atheist/irreligious family and became a believer at 27. I would have much rather been raised that way than in a religious family. The reason I say that is that the religious, not all of them but probably for the most part, tend to operate through repression and oppression. If I had been raised that way I would either be suffering under that oppression in almost abject ignorance or (most likely) I would have rebelled and had nothing to do with being a believer based upon that ignorance.

But, you never know. Maybe I would have looked all the more intently for Jehovah God's truth. Eventually I did do that due to a loathing I had for organized religion and a desire to debunk the Bible by educating myself on it. Specifically Christianity. Having done so, though a believer in the Bible, God and Christ Jesus, I still loath organized religion. Especially Christianity, because it has warped the original teachings of Christ misleading billions of people.

I think a child should be able to choose what they want. I'm not sure I'd say I'm an atheist, but something around that area. My son loves to go to church and I let him. I hope he finds his own path and happiness that I haven't been able to acquire.

Atheists are nothing but BULLIES.

I think that parents need to have the freedom of raising their children by their conscience.
I also believe that no one is ever beyond the reach of God.

Interesting. Because it enhanced my life. Guess it comes down to 'meaning,' huh?

And indoctrinating children into a death cult isn't?

Odd how believers and non-believers call it indoctrination

You are an adult now and have an opinion... change is always good...
