>>>I'd like to see children educated in all manners of religion (including ways of no religion) before they are expected to make any choice about it. I'd like to see a law where nobody should legally be considered a member of any religion before age of consent. Then they'd be entitled to make a qualified decision.

>>Now wait...you say you wouldn't send anyone to anyone's door peddling unreligion. But, you'd make a law to enfore YOUR beliefs that children should be proteceted from the church?

>Proteceted? It could be equally argued that you want them to be completely unproteceted, so their parents' religion would just be granted free access to them before they can make qualified decisions.

>And, I don't make laws, and don't wish to make them. I know how laws are made. It's just my wish that the civilization gets to the stage where such a law is democratically enacted. I.e. the general consensus first, then the law to make it official. As means of getting there, I don't propose anything stronger than just talking here, among adults.

I just thought it amusing that you are against door-to-door peddling of a belief (I am too by the way,) but would want laws made to support your beliefs that children should be protected against organized religion.

>If one of my kids becomes a member of any religion, I'd sure be disappointed, and sure won't do anything to help their cause (wouldn't even borrow the car) - but I'd respect her decision. How about you - if one of yours decided to switch to Buddhism, Islam or zero?

I think we'd agree there. While I would still love my children and would still treat them with respect, I would not be able to encourage or enable them to move in that direction.
