[QUOTE="PapaZoom, post: 69028930, member: 342011"] It's not a big if to me. And it's not forcing. It's training up a child in the way you think right. That's exactly what you are doing. But you claim you aren't forcing your ideas on your children. That's nonsense. We influence our kids because they watch everything we do. If you want to call what Christians are doing by teaching about God as "forcing" then you are forcing your ideas on your kids too. There will be plenty of time later in life for kids to examine the things they were taught as children (a natural rite of passage) and they will learn to make decisions for themselves. But until that time, it's my responsibility to teach my kids what I think important about life. When they are ready for critical thinking challenges, those lessons will happen as well. [/QUOTE]
