How do you propose we do this? I cannot live my faith and not have it obvious to my sons and I would bet many cannot. How do you propose we raise them? Are you suggesting that we should not be allowed to bear and raise our own children?

Debra. You know what? You and I, are not the same religion. ok?
but. I will say this:
YOU, teach your children what God, put on your heart. ok? I'll teach my kids, what God, put on my heart.
You know another thing? Be sure it is GOD, putting this on your heart. I'm sure, it is God doing this too me.
But...............................
You and I, have different ways to God. Debra...There is only ONE way. end of story. Read Eph:. One Church,One Baptism..One Faith..One Gospel..One Lord..One Doctrine.....
Debra... There is not 2.
There is ONE.
I have seen so many of your questions. I love and admire you, from the bottom of my heart.
Debra. We can't both be right.
We both have a different way to Chicago. You know what? We are not going to Chicago. All roads do lead to Chicago. We are simply not going to Chicago. We are going to heaven.
The roads, are "narrow", Debra.
Bottom line is this.: I'll say it for you.
Either..
Your Right and I'm wrong.
or
I'm Right and your wrong.
or
WE are both wrong.
because.........
WE BOTH CAN'T BE RIGHT.
You simply take any or all of anything I just said. This is up too you.
I hold FIRM. Debra. I see where you will also.
WE CAN'T BOTH BE RIGHT.

Children do what you do, not what you say. Most children learn through observation. It is not possible not to teach them something if you are actively doing it. So, teach your faith to your children. Being a good parent involves preparing your children for adulthood/ If you feel that teaching them about your religion, morals, etiquette, etc will help them become better adults then more power to you. Remember, If other people try to make you behave and act like they do, they are not very open minded, and are not a good example to follow. Their rights end where your rights begin, they cannot make you raise your children in a manner that is pleasing to them. What you do with your children, short of abuse, is your business. good luck.

I tutor my toddlers approximately all faith and additionally approximately non secular existence as adversarial to enterprise in denomination. while they are sufficiently previous they are in a position to make their very very own judgements on what they like to have faith. no longer all and sundry feels this way even with the undeniable fact that. non secular human beings are no distinctive to a vegan or vegetarian who develop their toddlers in families the place eating meat and animal products are no longer allowed and are taught that that's faulty to realize this and to look down on people who choose for to eat meat and dairy. the top result's the comparable. instructing isn't ideas-washing...asserting the ABC's and coaching a new child uncomplicated reading and writing won't be able to be in comparison enforcing a fashion of thinking upon toddlers.

You should teach your faith to your children but let them make their own choices when they get old enough. Everyone has their own beliefs and should get to believe what they want. Don't worry about what others think and don't play into their little games and arguements.

??? Who proposes this? Even though I'm an atheist, I have virtually the same problem as you. I have relatives telling me not to "take my beliefs out on my child" by teaching her to be a freethinker. I counter with the fact that by teaching their own children their religious beliefs, they are doing virtually the same thing they condemn me for. You could probably use that argument, only adapt it to fit your own belief.

I don't see anything wrong with teaching them about it. Though, I have seen some parents use that as an excuse for abuse. Not just physical abuse, but mental and emotional abuse. Screaming at them that they aren't any good and are going to hell because of it. That, IMO, is abuse. But just teaching them your religion... would be kind of hard not to do. Just as hard as some of these other ppl Not to teach their kids how to be assholes. Cause, honestly, I don't think they can stop being assholes long enough to raise kids.

***For those who feel Christians and others of faith should not teach that faith to their children, How? ***
That's impossible, i wouldn't try that, it probably won't work.
Have a blessed day.

Well, I wouldn't never tell someone they cannot teach their faith to thier child. Teach them to be kind and understanding and you have done a great job.

Good grief dont throw them a bone :|
You raise your child as you feel best just like they do. They dont want anyone to tell them they need to teach them about God just like we dont want them to tell us we can't. But Im sure they rather we all become sterilized.

Raise them, but leave their hearts open.
Religion is s curse on humanity, why curse your children to live in hate like you.
