I HAD A DRUG PROBLEM WHEN I WAS YOUNG.. I WAS DRUG TO CHURCH ON SUNDAY MORNING I WAS DRUG TO CHURCH FOR A WEDDING OR FUNERAL I WAS DRUG TO FAMILY REUNIONS NO MATTER THE WEATHER I WAS DRUG TO THE BUS STOP TO GO TO SCHOOL EVERY WEEKDAY I WAS DRUG BY MY EARS WHEN I WAS DISRESPECTFUL TO ADULTS AND TEACHERS I WAS ALSO DRUG TO THE WOODSHED WHEN I DISOBEYED MY PARENTS THOSE DRUGS ARE STILL IN MY VEINS; AND THEY AFFECT MY BEHAVIOR IN EVERY THING I DO, SAY AND THINK. THEY ARE STRONGER THAN COCAINE, CRACK OR HEROIN. IF TODAY'S CHILDREN HAD THIS KIND OF DRUG PROBLEM.... AMERICA MIGHT BE A BETTER PLACE! Link to post Share on other sites

Guest fragged one Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 i disagree with being drug to church, but i tend to agree with the rest. personally, i feel religion should be introduced to children at an age when they can understand it and make a decision for themselves.

So when is that? I assume you mean a responsible decision? Let's see...up until about 4 (average), kids still make the decision to touch a hot burner. Up until sometimes 9 or 10, kids still make the decision to cross the street without looking. Up until 18, kids disobey their parents. Up until death, some kids decide to foolishly gamble, drink, and shoot drugs. Please, when does this magic age come? Link to post Share on other sites

Please, when does this magic age come? it doesn't always come. *shrug* however, religion shouldn't be forced upon anyone, not even children. a six year old has no comprehension of religious ideals, they just imitate.

Jander Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Yes, but when they get to some certain age of understanding, they either embrace it or reject it. I went through Catholic grade school, and got pretty indoctrinated (or at least they tried). It's not that I was a rebel, it's just that I had a Bible and could read for myself that they weren't right. So I rejected it with no help from anyone else. I know there are people in here who were brought up in some sort of religion and just rejected it at one point. It's not like the kids are duped for their entire life...they choose for themselves.

You're right....We do the best we can....Hope we've done well enough,that the same Morals,Convictions and Beliefs are instilled and taken with them as food for life when they leave... That's really all ya can do. Edited July 10, 2003 by Palerider Link to post Share on other sites

It's not like the kids are duped for their entire life...they choose for themselves. thanks, jander, you help my point. instead of forcing religion on them, force true education upon them. teach them to read when they'd otherwise be at church. teach them mathematics, history, etc.... then they will develop an analytical mind which is better suited for thinking about religion and the different forms out there, helping them to think for themselves. i think that should be the ultimate goal, rather than forcefeeding god god god god god god god to them until they leave your household. hey, that's just my opinion, i could be wrong.

Jander Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 It's not force feeding...Take them to church, teach them, instruct them. Along the way you also teach them to think etc, so they can "choose" when they feel like it. The influence of religion wouldn't be a bad thing for most today. Higher morals wouldn't hurt the lot of us. Link to post Share on other sites

Jander Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Good. As I recall, crime rates etc go down with the institution of temples, churches, and other such religious things. Am I correct? Link to post Share on other sites
Guest fragged one Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 Good. As I recall, crime rates etc go down with the institution of temples, churches, and other such religious things. Am I correct? i know what you're getting at. i understand the importance of religion in our society, and that common morals are often cited in religious texts, and common laws are based upon those common morals. i have nothing against taking your child to church, none at all. just as i'm sure you wouldn't care if i took mine to planetarium instead. however, i can name many places with no crime that don't have any churches. it is only a game, afterall.

Guest Deuces Wild Posted July 10, 2003 Share Posted July 10, 2003 I agree with the idea you are trying to convey Jander, but I would never use a game as an example. It is, after all, a game. (And cartoons aren't real either.) Link to post Share on other sites
