You call it child abuse because you were raised the polar opposite.

You say they are abused because their parents want them to be raised with religious beliefs. Is there any law that says you can not raise your children to have the same beliefs as you? Your parents might have raised you away from religion, or not as attached.

In no way, shape, or form, does raising your children to be Christian harm them intellectually.

I will not raise my children to be devout of religion. This is my choice. If they choose to later on in life determine that religion is right for them, or they want to attend church, I will be all for it.

I certainly wouldn't want the government to establish and enforce what constitutes as factually relevant.

Costume parties or halloween doesn't mean that people are being indoctrinated into Harry Potter being real...

I'm saying they are being abused because they are being raised on outright lies that may affect them into adulthood or their whole lives.

[QUOTE=Matao,May 25 2011 04:32am]we aint talking about a book for childen that says there is a god who rewards good actions and punish's bad ones
this is a book that depicts men and dinosaurs living together , aimed at a young and formative mind , with no other purpose than to " get them before they learn otherwise "[/QUOTE]

WidowMaKer_MK,May 25 2011 04:36am]...is it worse than allowing your children to read Harry Potter books ?[/QUOTE]

[QUOTE=[QUOTE=Matao,May 25 2011 04:43am]apart from the fact that this books format is clearly not that of a " story "
if that harry potter book is presented by their parents as fact , and not " make beleive " , then ......[/QUOTE]




[QUOTE=WidowMaKer_MK,May 25 2011 04:44am]...then what ?

[/QUOTE]

then that would be the same , wouldnt it
lmk when parents start printing books teaching their children wizards are real ........

...every professed Wiccan I have ever known ( and that is scores of them ) owns a wand and a robe and believes in the power of magic . If you want to see Harry Potter in action go to Salem MA on Halloween .

Your opinion.

Hey, it's an evolved brain, it couldn't possibly be lying or wrong. Don't ever question him again!
