Apparently there is more than one sect in our majority religions who believe parents have not enough moral training to teach morals to their Children. They appear to place pressure on the parents to teach morals from a book.
In many Pagan religions morals are taught by good example and good deeds, but without need of any books.

As usual many speak of not understanding because there is no book quotations.

A detail of the paradox; those that constantly claim the heights in morals, cannot teach them without a book to tell them what to teach.

NOUN:
A seemingly contradictory statement that may nonetheless be true: the paradox that standing is more tiring than walking.
One exhibiting inexplicable or contradictory aspects: "The silence of midnight, to speak truly, though apparently a paradox, rung in my ears" (Mary Shelley).
An assertion that is essentially self-contradictory, though based on a valid deduction from acceptable premises.

You know what's so funny? Morals can be taught without even using any sort of religion.

The main problem is most Christians think they only have to "believe" In Christ---they seem to think obeying him is optional!

they want the government to aid them too, can't be parents on their own for some reasons (then perhaps they shouldn't have kids if they can't attain that level of responsibility)

parents have a selfish desire to have mindless, controlled little robots of themselves running around.
therefore, they brainwash their kids, literally from birth, on their cult nonsense.
it's the worst form of child abuse, and selfishness.
