Are you freaking kidding me? A parent should decide how to raise their child to the best of their ability. And if that includes the parents religion, why not? Not only that.. But gagchartzftw basically called mesoteto an abusive parent. That's crossing a line my friend. But fine, let him live on his godless, intolerant high horse. I don't hate atheists or people that have the agnostic belief, but it's assholes like that that make me just want to destroy the world so we'll find out who's after life is really right (oh wait, athiests don't have one anyway). EDIT: okay, that last part was a bit extreme, but it does piss me off. |
I agree with that bit about child raising. Obviously if a parent thinks they're right about religion they'd want to raise they're child with that same understanding for their own benefit. Just as they would pass on the belief that eating vegetables is good for you, so they would want to pass on what they also believe is good for you 'spiritually', if that be the case. We'd hope a parent also encourages the child to examine the faith passed on to them on their own but that's besides the specific point of attempting to pass on a belief.
There seems to be the assumption out there that religious beliefs are inherently 'inferior' to other beliefs and should therefore be completely and utterly passive, leaving room only for a quiet, hidden, personal conviction of which must be completely irrelevant to the rest of their conduct in the world. But, religion just essentially represents a set of beliefs. No neutral ground. Too bad.

To lavish praise upon this title, the assumption of a common plateau between player and game must be made. I won't open my unworthy mouth.
