Actually he's right in this particular instance. Your rebuttal was beyond lame.fish82;1152644 wrote:It's funny 'cause you're serious.

Millions of kids believe Santa Clause exists, not as something artificial but as his own entity, who along with his reindeer somehow defies space, time, and gravity to deliver presents all over the world in a matter of a few hours one day a year. Is he real?

Mostly because their parents tell them that from a very young age. I never told my kids Santa Claus was real or that he bought their presents. Same for the easter Bunny,tooth fairy etc...enigmaax;1152587 wrote:I think you've been through this, but a person who makes himself believe in something that doesn't exist doesn't suddenly mean that thing actually exists.

So you think parents should not be able to raise their children how they see fit or should they raise them how you see fit?enigmaax;1152712 wrote:Sounds vaguely familiar.

I wasn't addressing who/how a child should be raised. I believe sleeper previously referenced indoctrination of children at an early age as one direct cause of the prominence of Christianity. I don't recall the entire context and I'm not going back to look, which leaves it as a "vaguely familiar" concept.Skyhook79;1152719 wrote:So you think parents should not be able to raise their children how they see fit or should they raise them how you see fit?
Personally, I'm encouraging my children to expose themselves to multiple opinions and make their own decisions. I may or may not agree with the outcome(s) as that process unfolds.

I teach them about the Jesus and the Bible. It's their choice when they get older and old enough to make their own decisions regarding their faith or not. 3 of my 4 children are baptized believers at their own doing after they left my house. The 1 child who has not is still loved the same by me and my wife and we talk about spiritual things occasionally. That is every Parents right. Obviously you don't believe in Parents being able to raise their children how they see fit.Devils Advocate;1152741 wrote:But you still teach them to believe in God and Jesus... SMFH

Yeah and they tried to tell him he was not a god. You know what he said to all that nonsense? "Why don't you pull the trigger and find out?"Con_Alma;1153370 wrote:Billy the Kid's real name was William H. Bonney!

Something like that.
I thought they were, "Who is it?"
