I was, in fact asking this question because I don't approve of children
being dragged to church by their parents. Religion (or absemce of) should
be a decision that we make alone, without the parental influence. We all
know that people believe in what their parents believe 99,9% of the time.
This, to me, is a bad thing. I'd wish that children couldn't go in any
religious building before a certain age so that they can choose fr
themselves when they are old enough to decide if they want to be part of
this or not.
By trying to teach a child something, you almost automatically force it to
them if they are in the proper environment. So you could consider my
question as a rethorical blame.
Especially using LEGO braicks, a toy that children love, to illustrate your
opinion, this to me is a especially sad.
I just don't understand why religious people can't live there religion alone
for themselves, why they feel compell to harass others about what they feel,
how they see things... If I was to act like that, all my posts would end
with my own beliefs:
God doesn't exist. If he did, he'd be a real ass-hole letting all those
people suffer.
But if I did that, expressing my opinion, then I'd be accused to provoque.
To me, "Jesus loves you" and all that crap is provoquing, but when I dare
say so, I get flamed and accused of intolerance...
