if they don't believe what you believe? Do you like impressing your beliefs onto gullible young minds to force them into your way of thinking without giving the opportunity to have other choices? I'm very curious about this. I've always considered forced childhood religious indoctrinations to be a form of mental child abuse and brainwashing.

I predict you will get many answers along the lines of "it's no different than telling them will be killed if they walk into busy traffic," as if there's no difference.

That is not true. Some Christians do, but not all of them do it. I am a Christian, and I do not brain washed children, for the reason that what I tell them about my own religion is true. You Atheist claims that we are the most close minded, but I think that you are the most close minded of them all. Stop attacking our beliefs right now. If that is you attention, then get out of this section.
B.S, I don't have kids, but I don't think that ll the parents threat their kids to believe in god.

Where do you get your facts from? are is this just your opinion? I do not threaten my children with burning in hell, no Christan's that I know do this. Don't make up things in your own mind and then give the credit to us.

It's not up to us who will go where when we die. I can tell you that the child's salvation fall into the parents hands. Threatening them with hell does no one any good. It's just plain mean.

Christianity should never be based off of fear! Shame to those who do!

You fool. Its not a physical fire but a spiritual fire. The desire for sex creates a fire of lust that will ruin and burn you.

No. That's why I don't tell them that.

Do you enjoy letting your children face eternity without ever hearing the truth that could give them eternal life?
