I do think it's kind of abusive to teach children they or their familiy/friends/acquaintances will suffer an eternity in hellfire unless they follow the one true religion in the one true sect. It's also kind of abusive to teach them that Satan is on this world and responsible for all evil. This will make them more prone to superstition and manipulation and less conducive to reason.

Btw, I won't moderate this thread since it's the "quarantine" section of this forum, plus, adam has the authority to delete anything since it is self-moderated. Just in case anyone is unaware.

I think all religions can take things to the extreme.  I have seen manipulation and guilt used so I agree in that.  But I do think that our society is "starving" our people by now avoiding teaching religion/Christianity at all.  Most people are Biblical illiterate.  They think they know what is in there but they never read it for themselves.  I think we should all study all religions.  We need to be knowledgeable about this instead of blindly just following whatever feels good to us for the moment.

so you are telling me that you studied all religions and your search ended with the conclusion of Christianity being the answer to all mysteries of the universe ? well you know, I was born a Muslim so I didn't have a choice, but I live my life in the way the common sense and logic guides me, although there is some interesting aspects of life in all religions that we can learn, the whole point of a religion was to govern people when it was hard to maintain borders and when it was hard to keep things settled and organized.... 

I would love to answer but it will have to be a PM at this point because everyone seems to be getting a bit annoyed.  Wow.  Who would have thought that religion was more annoying than all the trolls combined!?  Interesting. Wink
