NEW YORK, June 18, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Religious education is a form of child abuse and violates the rights of children, contends a thesis to be considered by secular humanists at the Center for Inquiry's congress in Beijing this October.
The Center for Inquiry, an organisation recently awarded special consultative status as an NGO at the United Nations (UN) will consider the proposals of Innaiah Narisetti, the chairman of the Center for Inquiry's India chapter, that portend the next stage in the assault on the rights of parents to educate their children.
Nasiretti called the influence of religion a "severe shortcoming in the global campaign to protect children" and a contributor to child abuse saying, "In one form or another, all religions violate the rights of children."
"Such abuse begins with the involuntary involvement of children in religious practices from the time they are born," says Narisetti. "All religions, through ritual, preaching, and religious texts, seek to bring children into day-to-day religious practice."
"This gives holy books and scriptures, as well as those who teach them, an early grip on the developing minds of young people, leaving an indelible impression on them," said Narisetti, calling Sunday schools, madrassas, or Jewish or Hindu temples, centers of indoctrination for children.
Nasiretti's proposal would reject the long-recognized inherent rights of parents to educate and provide for their children's religious instruction in favor of regulating children's exposure to religious influence by world governments abiding by the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
"The time has come to debate the participation of children in religious institutions," continues Narisetti. "While some might see it as a matter better left to parents, the negative influence of religion and its subsequent contribution to child abuse from religious beliefs and practices requires us to ask whether organized religion is an institution that needs limits set on how early it should have access to children."
The UN forum proposed by Narisetti would debate the "pros and cons" of religion on children and determine whether religion contributes to global child abuse.
"The UN must then take a clear stand on the issue of the forced involvement of children in religious practices; it must speak up for the rights of children and not the automatic right of parents and societies to pass on religious beliefs, and it must reexamine whether an organization like the Vatican should belong to the UN," stated Narisetti.
"Until this happens, millions of children worldwide will continue to be abused in the name of religion, and the efforts made by the UN will continue to address the symptoms but not the disease."
I’m glad you are dumbfounded.
It’s LONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNG PAST DUE
for folks to know this and wake up to it. The info has been available—hidden in plain sight—for decades.
And, they have been making steady progress toward it
FOR DECADES.
INCLUDING
the RELIGIONS OF:
ATHEISM,
SCIENTISM
SECULAR HUMANISM
Which, as I recall, the Supreme court even asserted was a religion.
The UN is Western Civilization abuse.
Dear precious Sarge . . .
Was wondering if you or someone like you would be able to prayerfully come up with some suggestions for training our kids to be tough, wise, effective in resisting the propaganda and mind control games of the powers that be in coming years.
If not you, do you know someone who would be able and willing to play that role for FREEPER parents?
Jeff, I forget how long ago . . .
maybe 6-9 months ago . . . a WISE, RETIRED FREEPER OFFICER . . . at least 0-5 level . . . IIRC . . .
FREEPMAILED ME an answer to my question about him guessing what percentage of the military officer corps was infiltrated by GLOBALISTS.
He insisted AT LEAST
30%.
You were saying?
This is the kind of dreck that Hillary! subscribes to.
Praying in church only won’t do.
We must, as Scripture asserts, be praying ALWAYS.
Praying in tongues under one’s breath is quite practical, BTW.
Of course Judaism and Christianity are the only early targets . . . and the enduring targets.
But at least initially—only Evangelical and especially Pentecostal Christianity. The ones who believe Jesus is coming again and that these are the End Times particularly upset them and their plans. The demonic forces allied with them are most set-off by such groups. Honest.
There’s a message there, BTW.
I do expect that the puppet masters are in the process of using the Jihadi’s to help put down all other religions. Then, when the Anti-Christ is near ready to be worshipped as God, he will destroy the remaining Jihadi’s.
Useful idiots tend to be clueless about being on the early termination lists.
Perhaps age 98 would be the earliest it MIGHT be safe to allow the State access to one’s children.
They’ve been doing it piecemeal for the last 50 years. And we keep re-electing the bastards who let them (Clinton, Bush, Kennedy, McCain, Reid, McConnell, Dole, Pelosi, etc.)
= = =
YUP.
The frog in the bucket loses again.
I have to think about that one, Quix.... lessee what I come up with!
Kick them out of NYC and send them to Geneva, Paris, Beiging, or some other USA-Israel hating city and then nuke it.
I was about to say “and put that city on the SIOP target list”
If the people choose not to see, the people will no longer be free. It is as simple as that.
= = =
INDEED.
Sadly, it’s only been with this immigration disaster that even MOST FREEPERS seem to have awakened to the current realities re socialism, communism, globalism.
Playing catch-up is a **tch.
Unbelievable! Words escape me!
= = =
It’s believable. Been believable for at least 40 years to those of us who’ve been studying it that long. They have made rapid progress, all things considered.
In terms of escape—pray that we may escape the worst of the traumas to come by The Lord’s protection, provision and prayerfully, the GREAT SNATCH.
I believe Shrillery would rush us into this at the speed of light.
Rudy not much slower. Duncan Hunter and possibly Fred Thompson MIGHT be able to live long enough to throw some monkey wrenches in things . . . IF the puppet masters could be prayed to a standstill enough to allow patriots in the office.
IIRC . . .
Orwell was also one of them. Odd, that.
The most disgusting thing is the Western Christian reaction. Instead of taking up the cross and the sword they simper and thank all concerned for expressing different points of view. Instead of St. Bernard of Clairvaux we have the latest homosexual bishop receptive to all legitimate views.
Only some days?
Better improve your reality testing. Not much time left . . . we need to be awake every day and in every way.
AND WALKING CLOSELY TO GOD.
I can’t understand why any of you are the least bit surprised to see this kind of thinking. These people want to do away with family, religion, nationhood, morals and anything else worth fighting for.
= = =
Yup.
I think it would be better to send it to the overflowing lava pool at the volcano in Hawaii. Preferably . . . with . . .
