Thread Name: Children and religion
Subject: RE: Children and religion
I have noticed that from my previous posting my remarks are being taken as anti religious,they are not.If someone is interested in religion or not, I am in fact interested in their beliefs and it is a shame that other peoples religion is not more understood by the general public, there may be a bit more understanding if this was the case.
A child can be raised within the context of religious moral code,if you believe in religion or not.To learn right from wrong to try and get on with fellow man and see his point of view.
I am attending a meeting tomorrow based on moral code but my children will not attend unless they request it.To take a child to Church as part of the family is not the reason for me starting this discussion.To take a child with you as part of a sales pitch or forcing a child to learn texts from a religious book parrot fashion is.If later in life they want to take their beliefs further then the choice is theirs to make.
