logicboy01: I remember this discussion among 3 women on a train. The women were talking about another mother (who wasn't there) who is an atheist and doesnt teach her children about God. The mothers said that they see some "funny" spirits in those children of the atheist. They said that they would prefer it if their children did not mix with the atheist's children, especially at the atheist childrens' homes/birthdays. The children with the women were at least 10 to 15 years old. There were 4 children altogether.

This whole thing got me thinking. I wonder, would you let your children 10-16 have friends that are atheist or children of atheist parents?

alexleo:

I will not. And i ask, would you train your kids to be atheists?

uhonmora: of course.

The bible does not say we (or our children) should not befriend unbelievers...it rather preaches love to all...as long as they respect each other.

Kay 17: How is it possible for there to be love in separation??

logicboy01:

Of course. I will teach my children the 3 major realigions and show them the flaws in them.

Uyi Iredia: I'm beginning to see more of frosbel in logicboy. Who agrees with me ?

musKeeto: Lmao.
I would expose my kids to a lot... make them understand why I believe in what I believe and all, teach them the importance of morals, and make sure they have as many friends as their social capabilities lets them..

Most importantly, I would teach them to be Igbos...

Ptolomeus: Children are born healthy! No racism whatsoever and without discrimination!
You do not poison!

okeyxyz: Well, I am a christian(b4 you jump to conclusions, christianity may not be what popular convention/opinion thinks it to be), so I'll teach(& demonstrate) them christianity, but i will not stop them from socializing freely, a true christian is incorruptible, for the earth is the lord's the the fullness thereof, all knowledge & wisdom & power is of god. So if you invite me to a meal, whether you are moslem/hindu/satanist/atheist/whatever, mehn, I'll devour & relish the dishes and even ask for more

davidylan: Nope. Not healthy particularly at the 10-16 age.

CrazyMan: Nope I won't cos I don't think I would have time to start answering silly questions (no thanks to their atheist friends) during our family devotion.

Joshua 1:8. Says train up a child in the way he should grow so when he grows up, he won't depart from it.

As a parent, its my responsibility to bring up my child in way of the lord...

logicboy01: I would let my children play with other kids irrespective of religion. As long as my children are not used for sacrifice.

ijawkid:

There's one thing I'll beg you not to teach your kids....

Please don't teach them that homosexuality is a good moral practice...

Please I'm on my kneels begging...:-).....

Logicboy03:


Homosexuality is neither good nor bad.


Heres to hoping that you have a homosexual child and you run mad trying to remove the gay from him or her

CrazyMan: Nope I won't cos I don't think I would have time to start answering silly questions (no thanks to their atheist friends) during our family devotion.

Joshua 1:8. Says train up a child in the way he should grow so when he grows up, he won't depart from it.

As a parent, its my responsibility to bring up my child in way of the lord...

Zikdik:
No. Joshua 1:8 states that "This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success".

Thank me later.

Peterken05: They wouldnt do so, they prefer indoctrinating their children with bullshit right from birth.

Children should be allowed to choose freely what to belief and not forced or punished what believing or not believing. There is nothing like atheist children or christian children or muslim children, they are children for shit sake, they cant decide on their own, let them grow up to choose whatever they like
