Indoctrinating children into any religion without their consent (children cannot consent) is a human rights violation and should be a crime.
Agreed.
>>545065926Teaching anything to a children without their consent (children cannot consent) is a human rights violation and should be a crime.
>>545066194Teaching a child how to read or do arithmetic is not remotely the same as teaching them that hell is real and they will go there forever if they don't do or worship the correct things. You should kill yourself
>>545066275Everyone believes something, nature abhors a vacuum and the human mind can't believe in nothing. Atheism is a religion, and if you officially ban indoctrinating children into religions, you'll be indoctrinating children into the religion of Atheism. Closing your eyes to it doesn't make it not happen.More importantly, parents have primary rights to and authority over their children, while the government is at best secondary.
>>545066275But your argument was from consent. Which was funny to debuke.>teaching them that hell is real and they will go there forever if they don't do or worship the correct thingsThis is just an ancient way of saying "Don't act retard if you don't wanna get into jail". Why is it bad? Also it isn't like modern secular people is any more dumber than the older religious counterparts. Dumbness will never go away, it is a feature of the average human
>>545066376>Atheism is a religionAtheism is literally just a lack of belief in a god (A-Theism). It will never be a religion no matter how bad you want it to be
>>545066376>More importantly, parents have primary rights to and authority over their childrenChildren are people, not their parents property to do with as they wish.
>>545065926Children see the world as it truly is. Adults see the world through accumulated distortions. Parenthood is an opportunity to return to purity of experience. This usually doesn't occur until grandparenthood.
>>545065926>thinks property has rightsuntil you're 18, my house my rules. Faggot.
>>545066770Children are not property.
>>545066376>human mind can't believe in nothing.You are conflating several things here. The nature of the mind is silence. The beliefs, values and such are part of our identity or ego. This identity has been given to you by everything around you and you poke around in the outside world. Your real identity begins with internal introspection. Intelligence then brings the questions and the mind is where all this is displayed for your experience.
>>545066487>a lack of belief in a godWrong, Atheism is a belief in the lack of a god. The closest to what you're thinking of agnosticism
>>545066866>Wrong, Atheism is a belief in the lack of a godNo, it's the lack of theism. It's in the name. Like in the word Asexual. You're not very smart.
>>545066505Sounds like the state can't do as it wishes by banning children from being taught any particular things then.Children are dependent on adults, and parents are by and large the best adults to make decisions for children who cannot make decisions for themselves

>>545066866>AtheismBuddha was an atheist. He realized that the gods were simply a mental construct to help humanity understand natural forces both internal and external. What he taught to preserve was the philosophy of right desire, right thinking and right actions for the benefit of the individual and society. In short, his work was to free mankind of the cultural slavery to myth and suffering.
>>545067051What if your parents lived by some doctrine you would personally disagree with today, you endorse their right to force it on child you?
