How is it changing the question?

RP: Ah, so it's ok for you to give my 6 yr old boy material about your god and your afterlife, without my consent, and with the promise of more candy?

I just can't give other 6 year-olds my non-Christian material?

v.s.

OP: "A 9 year-old girl was approached by a couple from the a christian center who gave her candy and a Bible verse. She was also promised more candy if she memorized the verse.

Isn't this pushing things a little too far, in regards to "spreading the word"?

Would those who approve of it be equally supportive of my rights to give her candy and literature of my choosing, that supports my beliefs?"
________

Imposing on someone younger than 7 is sketchy.

A child on the streets with out parents is like smoke in my eyes.

Peace.

Are we outside in the middle of a city?
Would you be present? If so, no.
If not, then what would you care?

I would care that you would be giving my 6 yr-old son religious material, along with the promise of more candy, not in my presence.

I believe you are able to give out writing that is not Christian.

The U.S. says you are free to chose your religion, free to speak.

Now the 2 questions I ask you are:
What are you doing that will last forever?
&
What is your problem with Love?

Peace be with you.

1) Most likely, the same things you are. Nothing we do lasts forever.
2) I have no problem with love, although I find it odd you capitalize it.

There appears to be some continuity issues with this...

Dear non-sequitur. Jesus gave the Message: " The first and great Commandment is: Love God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. The second is like it: Love thy neighbour as thyself." That is easy enough to understand for a 9 year old. The difference between something an Atheist may want to teach a child, and the easy to remember Message of love, which has God`s Blessings, that difference is tremendous. A 9 year old will know what love means, simple and straightforward, whereas an adult will have to be told that God means selfless love, pure and no conditions. Jesus Himself told us in the Bible, ( God`s Word to Man) " Unless ye believe as children do, ye will not enter God`s Kingdom." I say this with love. Greetings from Emmy, sister in Christ.

That didn't answer the questions.

Is it ok do that to children, without parents around, with Christian material?

That doesn't make sense, because you not being present says that you don't care in the first place.
1) Most likely, the same things you are. Nothing we do lasts forever.
How can you have confidence in assumption?

Is that what you perceive, or is that your perception?
Have you only dealt with fault finding? I care enough about your Psyche than most people, yet you show so much contempt.

Look for the negative and take it in, you are what you eat.
So find the positive ideas in life!

Stop ignoring the Spirit of Love, you cant have a relationship being selfish.

You pick out something that people type and attack their faults. When people tell you something profound it is like your picture you don't care to listen.
Listening is better than talking.
2) I have no problem with love, although I find it odd you capitalize it.
Love is revered because it will last forever. Love is G_d, and a Spirit.

In the beginning of this post you are quoting that you would care?

How is it you care about what your child is learning or being taught, yet not care about being with them out in the streets?
That is odd.

Peace be to you.

Right.

Because when I briefly go to the bathroom or am not able to see them for 30 seconds, it means I don't care...

How can you have confidence in assumption?

Both.

Have you ever seen anything somebody has done that lasts forever?

Have you only dealt with fault finding? I care enough about your Psyche than most people, yet you show so much contempt.

I don't mean to.

Look for the negative and take it in, you are what you eat.

I do.

What I am taking in is not negative, nor positive.

Reality has no "ideas".

You pick out something that people type and attack their faults. When people tell you something profound it is like your picture you don't care to listen.
Listening is better than talking.

I would assume you have to do both, in order to talk to your god.

Love is revered because it will last forever. Love is G_d, and a Spirit.

Love doesn't last forever. Love is an intense feeling of deep affection.

Does hate last forever?

Emotions don't last "forever".

Peace be to you.

I never said anything about them being out in the streets.

Seriously?

Children aren't stupid? They don't have jacked up ideas, they believe to be true? It's ok to give a minor ideas about gods, no gods or Muslim extremist ideas?

Let their advanced and life-experienced brains figure that out?

Yes, seriously. You under-estimate 9 year olds. Have you got any kids?

Children can read adults like a book. They can determine who is genuine in a moment. it goes without saying though that some are less adept than others - society has some questions to answer but that's another point.
