This thread's pointless.
Agreed.

Clayton -
Teaching your kids your beliefs is natural. The only time I have a problem is when teach them that your beliefs are the only valid ones.
Why should that be an issue, do/will you teach your children that communism, facism, etc are valid governing systems?
I will teach them to study it and find out for themselves. Im not in the business of trying to convince my kids I am God and all-knowing. Communism may not be valid to you or I, but there were persons under that system that it was very valid, and rewarding to.
In States a fresh law is looked upon as a remedy for evil. Instead of themselves altering what is bad, people begin by demanding a law to alter it. ... In short, a law everywhere and for everything!

good call. It may take me a day or 2 to give a proper response to the ethcs thread, as I am a bit busy (in the middle of a move)
@Joe, the reason I said it was indoctrination was because the kids were being forced into sexual relationships with people they didn't want to marry in their pre-pubescent years. I don't know if that's "indoctrination", but I was just saying that they were being forced into a harmful situation because of religious fundamentalism. It was basically akin to rape, at least that's how I remember it.
Of course it’s a parent’s right, just as ruining one’s own children’s life is.
