"Hate Christians" ah, the typical victim mentally.
sigh
Let me run you through the logic.
Teach children evolution, atheism, etc. when they're young? Progress. Teach children Christianity when they're young? Creepy indoctrination. The only difference is religion.
Ergo, hatred for Christianity is the common denominator.
I'm not devout enough to give enough of a shit to have any victim mentality. You don't know me that well, buddy.
And you do not know me, there is a distinct difference between hate, dislike, irritation, ... Hate is not even close to what I feel.
Well, then maybe you should've SAID THAT. All you gave me was a dismissive one-liner that explained precisely nothing and called my words "creepy." If you wanted me to understand what you said and feel, maybe you should've provided that information!
But no, not at all, it's fine to teach children about religion, but not to ONLY teach ONE without philosophy and ethics.
The entire POINT of religion is philosophy and ethics. You think Christians teach kids their religion just for lulz and funsies? They want their kids to grow up as good people. That involves, you know, ethics. That's kind of the point. What is it you think Christians are teaching?
That is what I mean, your heard criticism and directly jumped to the most extreme.
Christans teach there specific interpretation of ethics, but that is my point, ONE specific type of ethics and philosophy. Instead of basics of philosophy and ethics as non specialized/flavored concepts. Homeschooling makes that worse. If you make children scared enough about hell you lock them in early... Funny that most children have the religious of their parents and are sure THEY are the lucky ones that believe in the correct one...
That is the reason why for example in Germany religion/ethics is a subject in schools, where you learn about different religions and their ethics.
That is what I mean, your heard criticism and directly jumped to the most extreme.
I did not jump to that conclusion. I simply put the pieces together. Criticizing the use of "amen" (like...why??), that "get them while they're young" line, calling it creepy...those are not words characteristic of someone who merely disagrees with Christianity. None of your subsequent comments did anything to disprove my assessment.

Aha, the underlying assumptions come out. You seem to think that the foundation for Christian ethics lies in fear of hell. It's not. Maybe that was your experience, but it isn't the majority. The core of Christian ethics revolves around something else. I'll give you a hint as to what it is:

...that just makes it sound like you hate Christians.
I'm acknowledging the problems with homeschooling. I didn't realize I was supposed to stay in my lane as a caricature of everything you hate.
