“Youre basically saying because i don’t give my kids a religous education I can’t teach them what’s morally right or wrong?”
I did not say that at all. Nor imply it. I was addressing your logic, or lack of consistency in your reasoning.
I got to tell you, you are presenting liberal party line logic.
I’ve heard this “let the kids decide” over and over from the liberals.
“As for the murder question...that’s absolutely ridiculous. How many societies on earth tolerate murder?”
Does whether or not others tolerate something define right and wrong?
I don’t see how you could think I’m presenting liberal party line logic. I’m just trying to point out an obvious problem with religous indoctrination. The problem being that educated, sincere people all over the world have come to radically different conclusions about God.
Can’t you see the problem in this? A problem that is only ultimately solved by one party “winning” the argument. Unfortunately not all religons proscribe to “live and let live.”
I can explain my beliefs to my children. I can be a positive role model, etc. It doesn’t change the fact that literally BILLIONS of people think I’m wrong and will ultimately suffer a horrible fate because of it.
We’re lucky to live in a country that at least allows you to explore the question from different points of view. I think I’m doing my kids a service by letting them make their own decision.
In any event, I respect your opinion and thanks for the response.
