This question is for both Atheists and my fellow Christians...

Christians- If you have raised your child in a Christian home and they came to you later in life and said they are now Atheist, would you accept them or not? Would continuously quote scripture and go out of your way to bring them back to Christianity?

Atheists- If you raised your children to not believe in God and years later in life they came to you and said they had given their life to God and are now a Christian, would you accept or reject them? Would you constantly tell them that there's no such thing as God?

I'm just curious... With all the bickering back and forth between both Christians and Atheists about how each of us is constantly brainwashing our children I thought this would be an interesting question to ask.

Thanks in advance for the honest responces.

I get different interpitations in different bibles. I use KJV, I have the ilumina bible, and it says Genesis 6:1-4 that it talks about taking the female race. The KJV never says anything about a race of 2 different spices. So one bible comes up with demons under the hand of God's will(for he banished them here) mating the female race...then he turns to man and blames man for being evil. and floods the whole earth.

the KJV says(to me anyway) that the powerfull people were people still with God's spirit in them and their offspring would be like men of old. God is leaving man in these verse's. We onced lived 900 yrs old, but God is angry with all this sin, and now we live 120 yrs old.


I show one verse in KJV, they come up with another bible NIV or whatever and says this one says it clearer and it means this....I ALREADY HAVE the understanding. I call it bible wars.

why is my understanding wrong using KJV, and whoever's right using there other bibles? Why don't they argue with KJV?

I know not everyone does this, which is why I am saying "many". If I am content, and happy with my life and my beliefs (Judaism), why do you feel the need to preach to me? I am not trying to be rude here, I would like an actual answer. Do you feel you are doing a good deed by trying to convert people, or is it another reason?

I don't go around preaching to people. I respect everyone's beliefs, because I know there are many perspectives to life, and that there are many possibilities out there as to how we were created. So..why?

I have vowed to myself that I will not expose my son/daughter (when I have one) to religion until they are of age to choose for themselves what path they should follow.

For instance...when my child turns 9 (good age in my opinion) I will buy him/her books on EVERY religion (except maybe Scientology..*smiles) or lack thereof (atheism) and have him/her read them and come to their own conclusion on what truth they share with that faith.

Why? Because parental influence is very strong from the ages of 1-13. I think my child should be able to choose for themselves what religion they follow.

I don't want anybody to answer with "You need God for morality!" "You need Religion for good behavior!" because its just a really sorry excuse for a lack of good parenting (different subject entirely)

So..my question is...is this a good idea? Should I give my child a chance at religious freedom like I had?

seems as if god wasn't really aware of the rest of the world and had no information about the future of the world. strange, since he or she knows everything. maybe a guy wrote those books, eh?

and you choose to read my question and then some of you choose to answer it. We choose to react this way or the other when facing situations in life. We choose to have good thoughts, we choose to do good deeds or not.

Based on this afirmation, I suggest we all choose to spread the Peace!!

Some of you will say "nonsense, I can't make peace alone. If nobody is doing it, I will not do it, besides what will my friends think about me?", because we worry about what they think about us. However, I say that if you serve as an example to a single person in your life, you achieved your purpose, and I garantee you many will follow you.

Make peace!! Spread it, talk about it, breathe it, eat it and you will see the result. A better world around you.

Would you follow me?

1. Was Jesus critical of religion?

2. If Jesus was critical of religion, should his followers be also?

3. If the followers of Jesus are called 'Christians' then should Christians be careful and critical of all types of man-made religions?

4. Is the criticism of man-made religion as a warning to others a Christian duty?

5. Do non-Christians constantly take scriptures about Judging Others out of context and try to use them to contradict Jesus Christ and His teaching?

Based upon the Bible, what is the duty of a Christian in relation to other religions?

I have a feeling..that the nonreligious christmas was created by corporations to make us buy stuff. I mean even in the christmas songs. It's like a commercial. I heard a piece of a song and it said ".....it's the most wonderful time of the year"....To my ears all the christmas songs about rudolph and presents and santa...they all seem like a commercial. Good advertising message so that we go and shop for gifts. It's like saying "go and shop for gifts and you will find yourself in this wonderful christmas world" "Don't buy and your kids will be disappointed in you"

So people do actually feel like they have to go and buy christmas Gifts to make people happy.

For those who do not know the three Laws

1.An object will remain at rest, or continue to move at a constant velocity, unless an external net force acts upon it.

2. Net force on an object is equal to its rate change of momentum.

3. For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.

The thing is that there are exceptions to the three laws. In particular when very small scales, very high speeds, or extreme gravity come into play.

Dose that mean we should no longer teach the three laws to school children, or should we stop a sixth-grade class to explain General relativity?
