Parents shouldn't teach children religion!!!

So, obviously its Sunday morning.

And my grandmother wakes up, and gets everyone up
like usual, telling them to get ready for church.

My brother says "I don't believe in religion, so why should
I go to church"

She says "shut up. You're still going."

He says "But I don't believe in religion".

She says "Shut up, and get ready or you're on punishment".

Wtf is that?

If she was a true Christian, she would respect his belief
and let him do as he pleases. She thinks its just a way
for him to get out of going to church.....

But if someone truly doesn't believe in religion,
why try to force it down their throat?

I believe its wrong for parents to force their kids
to believe in religion and God. I say let the kids

think for themselves.

I don't believe in religion. Not to say I don't believe in God,
I just believe there is no way to prove or disprove God.

In other words, I grew up and stopped blindly following
my pastor, my family, and a book thats been rewritten

many times, and started thinking for myself.
I decided I'm not going to live my life by a set of
rules written in a book.
I started to question religion, and when no one could
provide true and correct answers, I stopped believing.
So I guess I consider
myself agnostic...

I asked questions like
"If God created all living things, who created him?"

"If God is perfect, why is there evil in the world?"

Questions like that make me doubt religion and God.

Why can't parents let their children think for themselves
instead of trying to shove religion down their throats?

If only God can judge us, why do Christians judge homosexuals?

I feel if you live your life as a good person, good things
will come to you.....

Omg, I love this video...

If all people thought like that I think the world would be a better place....

Its completely wrong what religion has done to society/politics.
They are destroying the world slowly

I say just teach children to be good honest people....

We would be much better off....

Religion seperates us. And people fear and dislike others that aren't exactly
like them....

i feel the same as you on this issue, but neither of us could ever beat a bible banger in a debate about this

sorry about that yo. my father was raised catholic and when he was ten he told his dad that he didn't believe in it, so his father literally punched him in the face and he was dragged to church with a black eye... in my book this makes religion just suck...

tell the kids the earth will take grandma
back.

It will absorb all her matter and atoms and she will be
redistributed into the soil and shit. I dunno.

I figure raise the kid with some truth if information stays consistant and there are less questions then there will be less confusion later on...
