would you let your children choose what religion they want to believe in?

my parents raised us with the freedom of choice, and let us believe what we wanted to believe, not what they believed.

we did celebrate easter, christmas, ramadan, and even hanukkah with our neighbors growing up.

we were taught to appreciate each religion and how it brings people hope.

they stood by my brothers side and supported him wholehearted when he was baptized.

i never thought about how incredible they were for that until now that i’m an adult reflecting.

Yes! I think it’s important that they learn about all religions and make their own conclusions.

Freedom of choice.

Yes, they are free to believe in whatever fairy tales make them feel at peace. I like unicorns myself.

As long as they don't (and we don't) get beliefs and facts confused, it's all good.

And if they begin to believe that they are inferior, I am free to tell them they are wrong.

I believe that the concept of original sin is possibly the most harmful concept unleashed upon humanity, and clearly for the benefit of the slavemasters, not those they wished to enslave.

The next most harmful concept is that there us someone (or thing) out there that will "save" you. But that is another topic.
