I Think Indoctrinating Children With Religion Is Child Abuse

Of course if you believe that indoctrinating children with religion is child abuse then you have to go on to say that indoctrinating them with atheism is also child-abuse. In fact you have to go on to say that indoctrinating them in any way and with any sort of value is child abuse, so let's close down the schools and stop all this indoctrination. Don't indoctrinate your children into road safety - let them find out for themselves what it's like to go under a lorry. I know people who take their child up a football match and indoctrinate them into supporting that team. How terrible that such child-abuse goes on! And for goodness sake don't let your children read books or they might get indoctrinated. And of course the greatest indoctrinater of all is the media. Do no Facebook, Television or Internet, have we got that clear?

When your crap includes force, then yeah, it's indoctrination. Attending school is a choice. Some people home-school their kids. You wanting to include religious crap in schools, rather than only Church, is force. I agree with you about letting kids find out for themselves! Oh my! Do I want that, yes! Yes, let your kids read books... many of them, not just ONE. At any rate, it's a little contradicting that you are on social media telling people to not use it.

@Phire1 The science being taught in schools is part of the secularist religion.

Peopke like you totally miss the point. There is so much anti-religious crap around that it might just be a good idea to instruct the kids to allow them to make an informed choice. Else you are left with them swallowing the atheistic crap that us put about and swallowed by the gullible, @Phire1

I am absolutely with you in that kids need to make an informed choice so they do not fall victim to much of the absolute nonsense that's going round today including the atheistic crap that is talked about in the media . For maybe faithis a matter of the intellect and the reason as well as the heart. From what I see from the contributions of atheists here that reason plays very little part in their thinking and prejudice plays a huge part@Phire1

@MarmeeMarch Just because he has a profile picture of an elderly man doesn't mean he might be such here.

I agree. The religious crap and the secular crap and the crap spewed out by atheists with an agenda. Kids need to be informed about truth. @Phire1
