Being pragmatic, challenging and inquisitive to a point are good ways to examine conventional thought and generate new ideas. Being adversarial all the time is tiring and aggravates others. Free thinking people come up with fresh new ideas they don't necessarily have to question each and everything to have an original idea or thought. I have taken classes with people like this and the majority of the people in the room wanted to throw them out of the window after a while because they never stop talking.

Oh I agree to a point, but when I tell them something do you think they should question me? Free and thinking Human comes from being a child, and they ask enough questions as it is, but do you want them to believe what you believe? They will grow-up as I did raised by Atheist Parents to find out what I was suppose to believe all on my own.

Grace unto you, and peace,
from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
"Am I" is not "I am", but mirrorly the reverse of Life.
You may be right, of left vs right sides war on high,
but being right to make wrong as deadly as wrong.
It's a blame game that inducts into a hall of shame.
Pst: the hall of fame is above the L/R halls of shame.
It is preposterous order to teach first and learn after.
Parents should learn what meaneth Hosea 6:6 (Mt 9:13).
Only then, when(not if) converted from law vs law to grace,
then they're able to strengthen rather than weaken children.
JC said God said, to Peter(called Satan):
- get thee behind me (what you're saying is as dung)
- when(not if) thou art converted, then strengthen brethren
Legalism doesn't help children, it hinders and forbids them.
Fool-ish parents say: I know it is not fair, but it's the law.
Dah, if it(law) is not fair, if it(law) is CRAP, FLUSH IT.
Children raising children is as the Blind leading the blind.
"More the child of hell" is made by proselytized parents.
The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

I am not so sure about encouraging my children to doubt everyone and everything. But i do think that we should all encourage our children to question the beliefs of all, and to seek out what is true and right for them...
I do not believe in putting "God in a box" or putting limitations on what my higher power can and will do for me if i let it.....
I allow my children to question and i answer in the most broad and general terms that i possibly can...I let them know that it is alright to think for themselves and to search out what is true and right for them....I let them know that not everyone believes in the same faith..and that even though we do not believe as others do, that alone does not make anyones beliefs any less valid....
Blessed Be

I agree that parents need to teach their children, but don't think that we can raise our children properly without helping them understand the difference between right and wrong. Teaching morals is extremely important, and the tool for such instruction is the Bible.

The only reason we need to be that way today is because of the interference religions has had on our societies... right down to the schools we learn from... when we go to school we are forced to see the world in only one way, the way introduced by religions (mostly catholic and Christian) We have to question everything because no one is allowing us to learn anything new... children are naturally curious but we limit where they get their information.. One way to stop this is to raise our children differently for one good suggestion about that go to...

No
Only certain things should be given doubt and questioned, not everything. You can still have things you trust and believe in and be a free thinking human being. I think to teach them to doubt and question everything will make for someone who is very dysfunctional.

And you are teaching a child to rebel. The law is law and we must obey the law. The law of God is the law of God and we must obey God's law. If the child lives in the parent's home, the child must obey the rules of the home.
It is not always doubt, doubt, doubt.

well, children develop that 'questioning' tendency pretty much unassisted-i teach mine to think about things and not just blindly accept what's thrown at them-that holds true for religious beliefs, political positions, cultural influences, the various media, even what they are taught in school...i teach them to have an open mind, but not so open that their brains fall out-and i teach them that not everything is 'black and white', but that there are some things that are-
