As a young child, you believe everything your parents say without question because that is the instinct of survival. If this is true and let's say, you were a buddhist mother and you taught buddhism AS FACT to your child, then your child will believe that Buddhism is FACT and that everything else is WRONG.
You can share a religion, but stating it like it's set in stone? Brainwashing. |

"Please do not feed the flame war. Thank you."

| Thank you, I use to be brainwashed as Christian until I read the Bible to form 'my own' opinions. I found it a bunch of bull shit. But that's what I think, I also think Moses was on some type of acid and Jesuses deciples were on Mary Jane. |

Unless you provide a reason I'm not going to argue this further. |

telling your child that your religion is the right one is perfectly ethical |

I disagree entirely. People should be allowed to choose what religion they want to believe rather than one being 'right' and the rest being 'wrong'. |

XC6: Let's say that your entire life, you had been told that the effect of gravity was 5.0 meters/second. Let us also suppose that everything acted as if it were so. Now, let's suppose that you grew up, and went to where gravity was 9.8 meters/second. Would you still believe that gravity was 5.0 meters/second? Any mistaken ideas can be fixed when the child grows up. Teaching everything as if it were subjective would not only take longer, and be less effective.

it is fine for parents to give their child a religion the child may change it later, but its perfectly fine for the parents to tell them it |

okay then
by that logic murder and charity are both the same from an ethical standpoint |

You've missed the point. I stated in this post it is fine to educate a child about different religions. In fact, I would encourage it. But to state religion is more than just religion is incorrect and leads to close-mindedness later on in life. |

Yes, but what about re-finding a basis in Religion three years after renouncing it, then re-affirming your position because of the insane amount of logical evidence proving the existence of an intelligent designer you are presented with? -- Also, Muffins. |

If you could explain yourself, that would be lovely.
Because murder is 'morally' wrong in most cases- as a society, we've established this. |

"elaborate"
not sure its just my view on the matter
"If you could explain yourself, that would be lovely" okay
"Because murder is 'morally' wrong in most cases" most cases all i have to do is decide my religion includes human sacrifices and boom you arent allowed to call my religion wrong my human sacrifices deserve just as much respect as your charity |
