Is there anyone that puts God before their kids?
Can you say to them that they're not as important as God right into their faces?
Would you kill your family and yourself for God/do anything for God?
That's what terrorists do. They're brain washed and give up all of their free will. Is what you think similar to that of the terrorists?

You don't know how hurt I was when my parents barely cared for me because of churches and all the other things.
When I asked why can't they pay more attention to me. They yelled at me that I'm not as important as God.
I cried.

Wow ! That's a loaded question. Would I kill my family for God? Um....no. I don't think God would ask me to kill my family for him. Unless I'm hearing voices or something. Do I love my children................................ yes, but it sure is difficult when they're being teenagers. You know, narcassistic, selfish, materialistic, etc....... No, I would never say they were more important than anything in the world. I'm sorry that you were treated that way. They don't sound like very nice, nuturing people. Maybe they were having problems of their own also. That doesn't mean that you were supposed to be treated in that way.

God is love so therefore, we have to show love and give love to our children, friends, neighbors and so on. Do on to others as we want done to us. Yes we have to put God before anything and everything but it does not mean to mistreat our children and tell them hurtful things. Only by acts do we please god not by what comes out of our mouths. And no we should not be killing like the terrorists and many governments do. They justify their doings in the name of God.

I could see why you would ask this question if your parents put church and activities before you. That is not loving God more than kids, that is loving religion and church more than family. The way that parents can show that they love God is by the way they love their kids.
I am so sorry that you were hurt growing up by your parents. God would never tell a parent to say, I love God more than you. What the passage in scripture says is that God must come first, but not to the detriment of your family and friends. The Bible also tell us to love one another, and treat others as He would treat them. No your parents loved the idea of God more than God, because if they really loved God they would never have said what they said to hurt you. Jesus should be first yes, but in 1 John it says how do we know that we love God, by loving others. Again, I cannot understand how parents could say that, so I will say that you are loved by God- the real GOD who gave His Son up for you, Do not blame God for the way we represent Him sometimes. God must be first, but that does not mean we are hurt others in the process of putting God first,

What a strange question, I mean, I never really thought about it. God says thou shalt not murder, so if I thought God told me to kill, I would be wrong. I think that points out the true natureof Islam, dont you? It cant be obeidiance to the real God, because the real God is the creator, not the destroyer.

I am a christian,and let me tell you how sorry I am that you grew up like that.Alot of people take that commandment way out of context.God wants us to put him first ,not instead of our children.We should love God more than our kids or even ourselves,because God gave our children to us and gave us our life.That doesn`t mean instead of our children,or that we should kill our children,God sais "thow shalt not murder"Jesus loved children.We need to wake up a hour before everyone Else so that we can have time with the Lord to pray about our day,and ask Him for wisdom.We don`t have to neglect our family to put God first in our lives.
Don`t forget that Satin uses God`s commandments to his advantage also,and he has a way of confusing us.Hence,terrorism.That`s why we need to be in prayer and in God`s word daily.I`m sure there weren`t any Bibles on those planes the day they crashed into The World Trade Center. Furthermore,I`m sure they didn`t pray and ask God for wisdom to guide them.Instead of blaming God and the Bible for everything,lets put the blame on Satin where it needs to be,and us as human beings for allowing Satin to influence us because of our lack of faith and trusting,obeying and reading Gods word.

My mom has.
She told me before that God meant more to her than even I do.
That really hurt. I never seen God. Besides, is it right to put God first when you are how ever many millions of places down the love triangle to God? I mean, it takes the personal out of personal relation I'd say.
I don't see why I can't be married, have a loving wife, put her & the kids first, then perhaps put God on the back burner like he does with me?
I'd say that sounds fair to me...

well get your parents ready because you will see the same thing in all religions THE Voice each of these religiouse moments are actually a computer managed by the C.I.A. that has the ability to speak through time. Type "god is a computer " into google and have the last laugh on any religouse group.

your parents obviously didnt care for you as they should have. God gives us as parents a great responsibility... we are to model His love, and neglecting the needs of our kids 'in His name' is NOT what God intends parents to do.
God is the #1 priority in my life... then my husband... then my kids.... BUT, and this is huge, God would NOT have me neglect my kids in any way, shape or form... it is because He is #1 in my life that I can be the best parent to my kids... I take His example of love and share that with my kids. And my service to God IS my kids and my husband, first and foremost.... then comes other things...
would I kill my family? no, and God will never ask this of me... would I kill myself? again, no... God would not ask THAT of me either... people who think God requires anyone to kill anyone is in a misguided religion.
I havent 'given up' my free will... i can make choices every day... what i choose is to follow Jesus...

I've already stated as a Asker that I believe there should be a law passed that no one can force any religion on a child. I would amend it to state that no parent should be allowed to neglect a child or withold any love or attention to a child or children because of any religious beliefs of the parent.

That's a bit brash, don't you think?
There's a good example of God's provision for the care of His children's children - Issac. God only asked for that extreme obedience, He certainly didn't intend on following through, but Abraham was willing. God doesn't expect us to murder our children in His name, or to satisfy Him. He already took care of that.
I love my children enough to tell them the truth. My children understand that God is more important, and why. They'll tell you that God is more important to them than I am. My feelings aren't hurt, I'm proud of them.
Your misunderstanding is in the concept of free will. We have a choice - we can choose to make God more important in our lives. Some of us choose to do so, others don't.
