It always bothers me to see children pre-programmed in things where allowing them to make their own choices might be more prudent. I do realize that such things like raising children is a personal thing, and a family thing, of course. To ignore that is to be naive. Being that I have 3 children and that I am very active in the school system here in Germany (I am the substitute leader of the Parent/Teacher association), it is painful for me to observe the brainwashing that goes on. Hatred, violence, religious fever and intolerance. I see alot of that being pre-programmed and "forced" upon alot of the children that I see on a daily basis, then I get to meet the parents of those children, and I see where it is coming from. I am not saying that you, Master Suho, are guilty of such, btw. I think I can safely say, through the many years of observance on these forums that you are not prone to hatred, violence or intolerance. I also think you hold your religious fever in check...at least, I think so. Of course, I could be wrong. Would not be the first time. As for where I draw the line? I do not teach my children religion. They will come into contact with it soon enough, especially here in Germany where Religion is taught in the schools (thankfully one has the choice of not having to let one's child be in those classes). Before you jump up and down in glee, Jade, be aware that in this region, it is Evangelish Religion. I think in Bayern, they teach Catholic Religion, but I am not sure. I try very hard to teach tolerence and not to be violent (but also not to be a victim). I guess time will show if I was successful, or not.
