The answer of this question is exactly the same as...
(Q2) - Is it right or wrong to force a child to become a christian?
And even
(Q3) - Is it right or wrong to force a child to become a jehovas witness?
LET the child learn of those and more. Teach her critical thinking skills. Expose her to your own views when she asks, Then back off.
Originally posted by wolfgang59So you are saying that teaching kids right from wrong is correct and that we should not let them decide for themselves.
Oh yes.
And we let children decide which spelling is right and which wrong.
And we let them decide which is the right side of the road to walk.
GROW UP

Originally posted by FMFAs I said before, when it suits you. So was it or was it not child abuse when I was coerced to follow a bunch of rules as a kid?
Coercing any human, whether they be a child or an adult, is sometimes the morally correct thing to do. But what does this have to do with "child abuse"?
Originally posted by dj2beckerThe cult you described was clearly a regime of chronic psychological abuse and systematic intellectual, interpersonal - and probably emotional - deprivation of children. You described it in detail. You also quite obviously - albeit perhaps inadvertently - conceded that you have been damaged by it.

The description was that of freedom of thought based on critical thinking skills. As long as those two things take place, the condituons have been met. The actual outcome could be anything. I simply gave one possible outcome of freedom of thought based on critical thinking skills.
