Actually...I'd kind of rather they *didn't* believe as I did. That would let me know I had done a good job in presenting all possible outlooks equally.

depends how her attitude would be. shed have to have learned about it or at least something non derogorative about life or decisions and then the question would be up in the air but i think i would it would just depend on her personality if she could be kinda at a friend type reaction from my own self to actually think if i would have to respect her decisionher belif would have made an impact by then more than likely but the question? would it be negetive in ways that would be untruthful and inderminerate or would it be the truth that needed to come out at someone elses point in life about the opinions id may have had about them? yes i would respect her non belief in what i would belive but it is not all the same as the way things can be planned or thought of.

I believe that it is my responsibility to teach my children what I believe to be right until they are on their own when they can make their own decisions. The world is so messed up today because the TV spends more time raising our kids than the parents do. Someone need to teach kids in the way they need to go. When I worked for the School District the number one complaint was no guidance at home. Kid's didn't know what to do or who to talk to. Someone needs to take responsibility.

I believe you are to guide your child in a direction you see fit but if they are interested in something else let them explore. I would want to be a part of it though to make sure they are learning that new path correctly.
so yes I would respect there choice.

I have always said as our children grow up... if we want them to accept and respect the choices we make we therefore in turn must return that accept and respect and teach the tolerance of differences in each person and acceptance. set the example and get what you give.

I am actually in that position at this particular time!
I have learned through the years that I wouldn't be any happier if my son would just follow me in my believes . as that would be just blind. he is better off, finding his own believes and feel god about it , instead becoming some religious zombie!

I think all beliefs should be substantiated...the phrase "because I feel like" is not even an argument or a justification, it is merely a ratification/demonstration of one's unwillingness to think. Key words: Note that feel and think are two clearly different words.

It depends on how different the beliefs were. If his beliefs were drastically different than mine I would accept it after a lot of questioning, but I would not respect the beliefs.

As long as not believing in Atheism didn't mean believing in Christianity.

I would have to. I married a Christian. I’m an Atheist. There may be a good chance she will go the way of Christianity.
