This why so many kids are fucked up. They are forced to do shit they don't want to do and can't have their own opinion. They need to think for themselves and use their own brain. You shouldn't be forced to do something you don't want to do. It's the parents religion not the child's. Don't try and force someone to believe in your shit.

it can do more damage than good ,as a kid i believed that god created me ,god loves me and god will protect me .if i believe and i am a good kid . when the daily abuse started i hung onto the belief that god would save me ,hung onto it for years ,but the abuse never stopped so i decided that it must be my fault that god didn't save me ,stuff like this can screw up a kids mind .why wasn't i taught god can't save me?

Because everyone wants us to be followers and do the same thing over and over again on repeat. I don't believe in God but I have read the bible and it basically says that God hated everything on the planet including animals and wanted everything to die. It says he made a mistake and wanted to kill everybody. That makes to sense because if he created us how can he not destroy us? It's because it isn't real. None of that is real. It was created for people to believe in Something.

Religious parents will see it differently. It makes sense to them to not pay for a sitter. It makes sense to them to at least impart the need to become a moral person. I hated church as much as the next person, but I can see reasons to take the kids along.

They see it differently because they grew up being forced into it too most likely, brainwashed

@TheWombRaider: I think 'brainwashing' is a term best associated with forced confinement and deprivation. People go to church because that's what they like, and kids are often just not into it.

Forcing? Depends what you mean by that?
Parents need to raise their children as they see fit...they have a job to do steeing you in a direction that they believe in.
When you are of age, then you decide.

They have no idea what religion is about at a young age, they have no choice in the matter about whether they attend church or not, that is being forced into religion
