I am soooo sorry. I did not realize I was discussing the concept with a child unaware of biological facts.

If it's part of your "character" to shun your kids because they choose a different religion, then maybe this explains why they changed their religion.

I hope my kids grow up to be intelligent critical thinkers who can understand many belief systems and live in an ethical way. I don't care if their religious beliefs align with mine
Seems very dumb to cut them off for that.

Your friends are pieces of fricking shite, and it should be their kids who cut them off. frick them. And frick you for associating with them.
My friends are the ones being shunned. Their parents doing the shunning. Nice to meet you though.

None of that is what free will it. I think you’re confusing being God with having free will.

No way.
They are my kids.
I can't understand parents like this.

That’s great parenting. Disown your child because they believe a different fairy tale than you do

This is such an important point, and something I try to stress to my kids, who are all agnostic/atheist.
I'm not religious and, in fact, find the entire premise ridiculous. That said, I'm respectful around folks who strongly embrace their faith. I bow my head when they pray, kindly accept their blessings, and keep my mouth shut when topics of religion come up. I do this because I think it's important to support people in whatever brings them joy and happiness or holds them to account. Religion is truly in the heart of believers and there's nothing I could ever say or do to change their minds..nor should I ever aim to change their minds.
My oldest, on the other hand, is outspoken. He ridicules believers and doesn't hesitate to roll his eyes at someone when they talk religion to him. It's my mission to get him to stop doing that shite and recognize the who diff'rent strokes for diff'rent folks mantra. Support others happiness.
Now, if he's got someone telling him he's going to hell for not believing? Game on...talk all the shite you want being they aren't being respectful of the beliefs which keep him grounded.

If my kids abandoned faith it would be upsetting, but I would not change our relationship. My example may be the remaining connection to faith that hopefully will bring them back around.

No. Cutting them off is more damaging to everyone overall. Also it prevents any chances of reintroducing some shared religious ideals down the road.
Anyone who cuts their kids off because of some religion easily has more evil in their heart than whatever love they can have for Jesus. I’d venture to think someone who’s capable of that is headed for a much hotter place than anyone who is working to make peace in this lifetime, religious or not.

Unsurprising given how you think about your daughter.

Where was the judgement? Just stating it'll be a little lonely and scary without faith.
Posted on 12/18/23 at 3:19 pm to Billy Blanks
No. Oldest son is somewhat Catholic because of wife. Oldest daughter is non=religious. 2nd son hates formal religion but sends daughter to Christian school. Youngest daughter is Methodist but does attend Catholic services due to husband.
I love my children and would never disown them.
I have friends whose children will not speak to them but it's due to politics.
