Religious Brainwashing

<< < (2/3) > >>

bLaDe:
Im gonna marry anyone who I like and get along with, frankly i dont care about her religion....My kids will be tought about religion, which in my eyes means diciplen and behaviour, and let them choose...enforcing religion upon a person is stupid.....and if they convert later on in their life i wont care either, u know whtever makes em happy, all religions basicly preach of peace n diciplen anyway...

--- Quote ---The way I see it, is this.  I'm gonna marry someone the same religion as me, because we have more to talk about, and more in common.  My children will be my religion, until they're old enough to choose on their own, and then it's their choice.  I'm not gonna keep them from hearing things about other religions, my church even teaches the good aspects of other religions (I just finished a class on muslims, sikh's, jains, hindus, zoroastrians, jews, christians,  buddists, and a few others), and they only give you the good aspects of the religions, lest they be accused of downtalking other faiths.  It's designed to help people understand the similarities between religions, so there isn't as much religious hate goin' on.  Anyways, truth will always win out, and I know for a fact that my religion is the best for me, and it'll be the best for my wife.  If I raise my children properly, and treat them with respect, I dont' have to worry about them wanting another religion, because they will be exposed to just how good my religion (which is based on family) is, and will feel they want to be a part of it. Also, every latter day saint has a testimony of Christ, if they don't, that's something for them to pray about, if they feel in their heart that it's wrong, then I won't mind at all if my child wants to be another religion.  I'd probably be dissapointed, but I wouldn't disown them , or kick them out of the house or anything, it's their decision.  I honestly feel that won't happen though, becuase I'm going to raise my kids properly, introduce them to my church, and I don't think they'll have a problem with it.  That's not brainwashing.

u just proved my point, u r gonna bring them up in your religion, therefore u have to get them baptised orhowever u accept them into your religion from a young birth, i wud ask u, if u have kids, by right u can teach them your religion, but don't get them accepted into it as soon as they r a few months old.

another point u prooved is that if u marry sum1 of the same religion, and not just sum1 u like, then the child is always gonna believe what their mother and father tell them, in this case its all the same. no objections to u marrying a woman of the same religion, but why do they 'have' to be?

and in my eyes, it is brainwashing, whereby you wash their brains of all other thoughts and only let them believe what u want them to believe, and it's wrong.

JLscorpio:
It is quite obvious that you don't really understand the meaning of the word brainwashing so here is a definition for you:Intensive, forcible indoctrination, usually political or religious, aimed at destroying a person's basic convictions and attitudes and replacing them with an alternative set of fixed beliefs. The situation you describe does not fit because if you are taught such things from the beginning you have no convictions to destroy.

I know, this guys' just tryin' to press buttons.  I'd like to ask him how he would suggest I do it? LOL He's just stupid.  Of COURSE I'm gonna marry someone the same religion as me.  What would he want me to do, not let my kids even think about god until they're 20? What, does he want me to drive them to a jewish synagogue one week, a muslim mosque the next, and never let them go to my church, lest I be brainwashing them?  This really is an ignorant conversation.  

BTW, Latter Day Saints don't baptise at a few months old.  How the hell could they, the kid wouldn't know what they were doing, or even remember it.  They baptise at 8, any child beneath 8 is without sin, anyways.

But if a person turned round and sed they'd never marry a jew it or a muslim it would be seen as racist u know? and i never sed don't let teach ur kids ur religion, i just sayin let them b teenagers so they can fully understand and choose to be accepted in the religion, not at 8, cos 8 is the age where when all ur friends are baptised they get jealous and want to b done theirselves for the wrong reasons...and i didn't know they did it at 8 cos most religions do their children asap!

and ultimate warrior, read what i put, i put that u tell them everything else they hear around them is bullshit and u make them believe what u believe, therefore whatever else they hear is washed from their brain and replaced by your version of the story or whatever.

and i aint being ignarent, but this kinda shit just seems wrong to me, especially when u make out that to be happy u have to marry a woman of the same religion, if i turned round and sed i aint ecer marryin a jew i wud be seen as a racist.
