[QUOTE="UgliestWeen"][QUOTE="gaming25"] "bad morals" like what?gaming25
Have you even read the Bible?

Are we going to have a discussion, or are you going to act like I am stupid. Now tell me what "morals" you find wrong.

So you think slavery and rape of slaves is acceptable?

Raised a Catholic throughout school. I was the "special kid" and always pointed things that didn't make any sense in the bible. How he could walk on water, etc. I am 17 today but I still consider myself a Catholic. The bible holds a good set of morals that every kid should learn, wether they believe in God or not. That's just how I think about it.

The same lessons can be learned without the existence of religion. Also, the bible holds a lot of bad morals which Society rejects today.

[QUOTE="Snipes_2"] This was done for religious Reasons?

If so, I wouldn't generalize all religions like that.

Well duh. but the point is still the same.

Not really, you have to take into account the Religion as a whole and its influences on people. I don't want to point out one specific religion that influences violence but they all don't. The ones that don't should be encouraged and taught to children if you're part of that religion.

No major religions have their hands clean in terms of promoting violence or oppression.

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]I'm going to be the kind of parent that tells my child what I believe, but assures them that they don't have to share my beliefs and that I will not be angry should they choose to take a different path in life. Morals are not the same as religion though. Saying "don't hurt others because it's wrong and you wouldn't want somebody to hurt you" is significantly different than saying "don't hurt others because that's a sin and jesus will send you to hell if you sin". I see no gain in teaching children to not do bad things because if they do a higher power will punish them. I want my kids to just have common sense and not do things because they're wrong, not not do things because some invisible, possibly not even real god tells them to. I'm more or less agnostic, but I respect religion. If my child feels that they would like to become part of one they may, but I will not be influencing them one way or another.

You sound like a good parent.

Parents will always try to do what they feel is best for their kids... which in someway will involve expressing their own opinions about something. If they believe in religion, they will surely tell their kids about it.

Should they? yes. Because it's their beliefs. If you don't try and nudge your kids in what you believe is the right direction, you aren't being a parent at all.

But why not wait until they're older to do that?

If it's something they practice weekly (church) or even daily (praying at meals) are you suggesting they should hide these things from their kids and pretend they don't exist? sorry to answer your question with another question.

Kids don't needed to be excluded from these activities, just like they don't need to be excluded from religious events like xmas. Nor should they be excluded from learning religion. They just need to be encouraged not to join a religion until they're older when they have a better reasoning.

they should not be learning religion because they will belive w.e the grown ups will tell them too.

watch this video as proof

I don't agree. I think children should be taught religion so they can respect other people and their beliefs, but I don't think children should be encouraged to pick a religion when they're so young, especially when the parents usually only mention one religion (theirs). You could argue that's not even a choice at all.
