If your parents were born to a dumb religious parents by accident ...?

Question

I'm serious, please be kind enough to give only serious answers...I luv my parents.

If your parents were born to a dumb religion and gave you the same dumb religion... will you give the same dumb religion to your children ?

Answer 1

My parent,s were bt no mean,s dumb,they loved me enough
to tell me about God and let me choose my own way,by which
I found they were right and I thank them so much for caring
about my soul.

Answer 2

Well I assume if you pass on your religion you don't find it dumb. I'm an atheist, my parents were atheists. They never told me I had to be that way, but I'm sure it was a big influence on me. I wouldn't want to force my children to be atheist but the environment I expose them to may force them into atheism. Most people pass on their religion because it's something they believe strongly in, they don't see it as stupidity. Religion should not be forced on any child, but a christian family, even if they say nothing of religion is likely to raise a child who becomes christian. It's only stupidity if you do something like disown your children if they choose a different religion.

Answer 3

They were, they did, and thankfully I didn't! ;)

I now am spiritual but not religious. Ironically, my daughter seems to be drawn to religion. In high school she started going to a bible-beating church with some friends much to my dismay.

She is 24 and married, they just started going to a non-denominational church which seems pretty liberal. She said the sermon last week was about how Christians should NOT preach to others because it turns them off. They should simply be a good example. That's nice!

Answer 4

My parents were raised around Christianity so they decided that was a good choice, I was raised Christian but disagree with it now. My son is surrounded by the religion but doesn't believe...I told him if he had any questions he didn't want to ask me or any other relatives, to look it up in a psychology book.

Answer 5

If you believe the dumb religion, you will. If you don't, you probably won't. Then again, I know a few people who argued into the wee hours about the stupidity of religion while in their early twenties, but before their first kid turns three they are in church every Sunday and asking me to join them, which leads me to believe that it will be one of those things you have to decide in real life, not in hypothetical questions.

Answer 6

Depends on the laws of that religion. Who is the God represented in that religion? And what has he done for me?

Seek past what your parents have passed down to you... thats what I have done. And while I was brought back to my foundation... It was necessary for me to find this out in my own way.

Answer 7

In order for something to be "given", it must be received. I will "offer" my religion to my children, as I have, for them to choose for themselves whether it will be theirs or not.

Too bad for you that yours was dumb. My kids have come to the conclusion that mine was not.

Answer 8

my parents changed their religion and have given me the freedom to choose for myself. and i will do the same for my children.

Answer 9

I will teach my children what I believe to be right.

If they choose to go a different path, I will be sad but will know that they did so willingly.

Answer 10

Only if I believe in it.
Religion should not be passed down. It should be learned by each individual without parental influence.
