Kafka welcome - Conflicting Beliefs and your Children

quote:

brainwash

I didn't realize teaching your children your morals or what you believe is right was considered "brainwashing"

I would think this is something you do very delicately.



They are still your family. Just because you believe differently doesn't mean you insult them or hurt their feelings.



Just respectfully tell them you don't share their beliefs.

I hated going to church and would always argue over little shite that didn't make sense to me at the time and makes even less sense now, my parents gave up forcing me at 12.

They knew all a long they just never heard me say what I believed till I was 17, at that point my dad didn't care and my mom still loves me even though she thinks I'm wrong so we're good in the hood.

Really depends on your parents I guess, my grandparents were / are Deacons at a pretty big church but no one talks about it we just leave it alone and love each other like family.

Unfortunately this isn't the case for a lot of people.

This video is worth your time.

I don't talk religion with people I like and, personally, I don't care.

If you want to keep the thread from getting whacked you need to change the thread title

Change it to "Coming out and telling your family you love to suck dicks, and have the biggest cocks shoved up your a-hole", because that's okay

but religion is bad

Quoting me is the surest way to get your thread whacked, you banned, and -- depending on which mod is on duty -- all your assets confiscated and perhaps your entire family deported

Atheist here. For me, it was more of a gradual thing. I never really enjoyed going to church as a kid, and always felt like there was something I was missing. My dad is not religious (not an atheist though) and never went, so I would always ask "How come Dad doesn't have to go?" I think my parents knew for a while, so I didn't really have to say. They've been great with it. My extended family is pretty religious though, so I play along on family visits.

I used to be against religion in general, but now I have the mindset that if it works for you and you're not hurting others physically or emotionally, then go for it.

ETA: Don't have children yet, so I can't answer that part.
