Religion beliefs are spoon fed ? We did not had any chance to say no to our parents beliefs?
We are like cats who s||it on a concrete floor, going around the s||it to find some soil to cover it.

I understand what you mean.. my family pushes their beliefs on me every christmas. I get into a big fight every year with my mom about church... I don't believe the same as them (they are catholic) and I don't being in their god or any god for that matter.. but I do have my beliefs and I follow them. I walk a fine line when I’m around my family.. Why can't parents each many different beliefs to their kids and let them decide what is right for them. That is what i plan on doing when I have kids.
Because I belief if you do not believe or you feel forced to believe in something that isn’t right then you do more harm then good.
Their have been to many religions on this earth since its start to say only one is right and all the others are wrong. If you stay true to your beliefs then what ever you believe is true for you. You will have the afterlife you seek. For me that is peace.
Keep this in mind, every religion has ties to the religions before them. If you say no then you are lying to your self. Think about it. christmas is celebration of christ birthday, then why isn’t in the month he was born? He wasn’t born in December. But the great minds decided they would celebrate it in December because pagan had their winter celebration then. Because it was easier to get them to follow, in a way its if you can’t bet them then join them.
Back to the questions... we shouldn't spoon fed our children our beliefs but let them decide what is right for them. We are here to guild them. Show them a path but let them drive it..

ALL knowledge is spoon fed when we are small - religious, health related, educational, social, moral, ethical. It is the responsibility of parents to provide such a basic introduction. When a person is old enough to take personal responsibility, then he/she can decide whether to stay up late, brush their teeth, use dodorant, go to school or go to church.

It is true that the overwhelming majority of people take on the religion of their parents. What religion you'll be seems to be pretty much just about your geography and your environment. Hence there aren't many Muslims in America or Christians in Saudi Arabia.

Not all religious beliefs are spoon fed, and some of us have had plenty of chance to say "no" to our parent's religion.

I found it was the church that was more against questions. I was always curious about everything. The more my father studied the Bible, the more he argued with the preachers. LOL When all the children were gone my parents quit going to church. But we took responsibility for our own spiritual growth, and are still learning.

Personally, The bible teaches us to share our faith with our children..and give them an opportunity to know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. You call it spoon feeding them a religion...I call it sharing Gods word.

Unless one is an idiot without the ability to process thoughts each person has the ability to choose for themselves what they will believe and adhere to. You may be like a cat by your own admission; but, the majority of people have a much better ability to reason than a cat.

i do no longer shop on with the religion of my mum and dad. the religion I shop on with I chosen to maintain on with on my own after lots finding on my own. My mum and dad raised me to seek on my own and to on no account purely settle for blindly their ideals or the ideals of others. in fact, my mom and my father are actually not even of the comparable denomination interior the comparable faith. I come from a very religiously distinctive relatives (the two instant and prolonged). faith isn't the priority with the international at present, it is going to no longer be blamed for the wear and tear. faith is in basic terms a gadget utilized by making use of people to attain non secular aims and accomplish non secular reports in life. I believe folksinger Ani DiFranco who mentioned "each and every gadget is a weapon in case you carry it suitable." you do no longer blame the hammer that smashed via someones cranium for murders, you blame the folk who used the hammer.

Well, I said no.
Whether someone accepts what they are taught or not is up to that person, and whichever way they choose, it should be done with careful examination and thought.
Personally, I'm glad for my experiences growing up with what my parents believed. While it's not the path for me, I'm knowledgeable about it--and more importantly, I can easily see things from that perspective, having held it myself at one time.
