Religious Brainwashing of Children - How can this be right?

[Hecktix]

In all honesty Kyle, how much of that crap do you actually believe the kids UNDERSTAND?

[Laggings]

"Busted"? It's a competition now? I was saying what I believe in, and what I'd be like if I was in there position. I honestly, can't see myself, no matter if I was being brought up like what they were from the age of one, blindly submitting to God, being the person I am, and always have been, I would think, question and then question again.

If you were 1 year old and I told you that your penis was actually called a vagina, you'd believe that for a little while. If I told you that for a whole year, every hour I was near you, you'd believe it for the rest of your life, believing that everyone else is a freak.

However, there is real proof that it's called a penis. There's nothing to prove with the 'God' thing, that's why so many people believe it and feel others are crazy.

(And I'm not saying you have a vagina, it's just a way of telling you what I mean.)
(LOL at whoever -repped me for 'u have a vagina u noob' )

So before we start turning this into a competition of what's right and what's wrong, it was my opinion.

You were wrong.

well you cant really say "no matter how i was brought up" because whether you think you are or not, you are trained on how to think by adults. its why liberal parents raise liberal kids and conservative parents raise conservative kids. as children, we biologically look up to adults for guidance. i can still remember as a 5 year old looking up to my dad thinking that he's always right and isnt scared of anything. im sure a lot of people have similar experiences. so to these kids, these adults are teaching them and adults are always right. these 6, 7, 8 year olds, they dont know about politics. they dont even know there is another side to this issue. its what theyve been brought up to believe, as hard fact. to them, denying jesus is the equivalent of denying the sky is blue. there arent areas of grey. what these parents are doing is exposing and taking advantage of these kids at one of the most vulnerable stages of life.

further, these kids' knowledge of jesus and christianity wasnt introduced to them at this camp. obviously the parents of these kids aren't relaxed christians or athiests who just said "hey lets send our kids to a hardcore jesus camp." theyve been brought up since birth to be a hardcore christian, and thats the way the world is to them. the camp just reaffirms and expands on ideas they've already been taught.

[leah]

They target them young because thats when you learn to obey, it's quite sad that they don't get to make their own choices really.
