Re: Things you plan on doing when/if you have kids

DA

Okay, that's a little different than what it sounded like you were saying in the first post. If you're going for the approach of, "This is what I believe, this is what X, Y, and Z other groups of people believe, and you're free to believe any of those things or none at all, as long as you're kind to others," then I think that's great and approve wholeheartedly. But it initially sounded like you were going for a more, "God IS real and he DOES love you, and you should be kind to people because of it, but I'm not even going to mention that other belief/non-belief options exist," thing, which gives me the unhappy shivers.

I was raised Christian and wasn't particularly damaged by it (well... I wasn't traumatized by it, at any rate), but I was never taught much of anything about any other religious traditions growing up, and nobody ever even mentioned the idea that non-belief in God was a thing. It made for a real struggle later on, when I was trying to work out what I actually believed, so I'm not keen on teaching children that the existence of God and the correctness of their parents' religious denomination is a foregone conclusion or objective fact.

To clarify, I don't object to parents explaining their religious beliefs to children, but I don't like it when those beliefs are presented with the same level of self-evident certainty as the existence of the Roman Empire or the planet Mars.

Ahhh I getcha. One of my friends pointed that out. I do plan on teaching them about other views and that they should respect their beliefs and respect differences. I apologize for the confusion.

Yeah, I had the same experience with religion when I was a child. To be fair, my parents aren't that bad with religion in general but they totally don't get that some people can not believe in a god.
