]]> Comment on Salvation is not a legitimate argument for indoctrinating children by JonelB http://www.endhereditaryreligion.com/2011/01/salvation-is-not-a-legitimate-argument-for-indoctrinating-children/comment-page-1/#comment-112793 JonelB Wed, 25 Jan 2012 05:49:16 +0000 http://www.endhereditaryreligion.com/?p=1124#comment-112793 The fact that religion is appealing to parents and elder people(you are young again! And rich! And you can do all the things you couldn't enjoy during life!), usually brings them to get upset if their children don't 'embrace the faith'. I know my own parents are unsatisfied with their life, and follow the version of christianity where you ignore the parts you don't like, but pick and choose the parts you do--mom thinks that abortion is okay, gay people aren't evil, and has 'put up with' but 'prays all the time' for me to see the light again. My dad, if he had the chance, would start his own cult centered around something similar to the Pearl Family's method of 'training'. All about control and "putting people in their proper place". He was talking about Obama tonight using racist words. Ironically, they don't like churches because every church they've been to has asked them what they made, and then wanted -exactly- 10-15% of that. My parents are tightwads and hate giving money away, so we never had regular church attendance(got lucky with that one). But they did -try- to indoctrinate me. Vacation Bible Camp, etc. Sadly, vague promises of an afterlife were completely OWNED by education and how shittily I was treated by 'christians'--who never seemed to care about me, only their relationship with jesus. Funny how when they treat people badly, they run to apologize to god, but would never apologize to the person they mistreated. But seriously, put better education in schools, and keep extracurriculars, help build social circles that don't rely on religion! There's a reason why nerds tend to be atheist--it's because they have social groups outside of church! There's a reason why rural people tend to be religious--it's because there's nowhere else to play basketball! Collection plates around here usually feed into little clubhouses for young fetterlings to eat pizza and play dodgeball at every Wednesday. It's what my sister did for years on end, while I was more than happy to stay away from the spitball-throwing assholes that frequented such areas--and stay on my computer. 1.) education beats the crap out of religion's ass. Unfortunately my highschool just put the softball coach in charge of teaching 'evolution'--and we got the barest minimum. It wasn't until college that I got the full picture and was able to have a story of how we came to be that -wasn't- mythology. 2.) social circles--the more you build social circles that meet regularly and have nothing to do with religion, the less religious people there will be. It'd be nice for people where I live to have a choice beyond Sweet Water Baptist Church on Wednesday night. I used to be in Marching band, but unfortunately everything circulates around Football and Football always starts with prayer--if there were more things to actually do--you'd see a drop in church attendance.

Most enlightened school administrations no longer follow this practice . Unfortunately many have not; especially in the Bible BELT where Christians think beating children is a good thing.

I know plenty of well-adjusted people who were homeschooled, as well as some of not-so-well-adjusted ones. It all depends on what the parents choose to teach and how they choose to teach it. It is the same in public schools. PTA groups are made up of parents and concerned community members who make, sometimes unwise decisions about how to educate children. Take to textbook fiasco in Texas this spring. The PTA of one of the largest school districts in the nation was pressuring a textbook company to exclude evolution from their textbook. If that's not indoctrinating children I don't know what is. I disagree, though some homeschooling parents do brain-wash their children and doom the to be social outcasts, not all do.
