I avoided religious indoctrination.



You are the one said it was passed down through the generations. So to be completely free you would need a large number of skipped generations of missed religious instruction.



The no-name seems to have skipped over Lee's well-made point



Skipped because irrelevant. I was a ward of the state and my childhood was in a secular government home. No religious brainwashing took place in any shape or form.

OK.
Now that has been put to bed.
All children have to be protected from this religious inflicted mental illness.

To continue would be mass child abuse. A greater destruction than what occurred with the stolen generation. Since that was a part of this religious mental illness.


You poor thing.

You have a lot of hurt.

No wonder you're like this.




No hurt, since I wasn't taught to religiously hate.
I'm like this because I'm a free thinkers and so can see the chains that the religious are trying to shackle their children with.

It's time to end religious child slavery ... just as it was time to end stealing aboriginal children on religious grounds.

So your solution would have been what?



Treat others as how I would like to be treated.
It's not rocket science.

Actual topic discussion. Rather than hiding behind personal abuse.

You stated god's opinion. How did you get to know it?

I've read them all and they are all telling the same 'bloody' story. Even Aboriginal Dreamtime has similar stories.

Hence why GOD has 10,000 different faces/masks around the world.
Some are more popular.
Some are more accurate.
Some are more better expressed.
...they are all 'branches' off the same Tree.

Religion is at its best when it becomes a countercultural force; when it has no power, only influence, no authority except that which it earns, no claim to people's attention other than by the way it creates values that cannot be found elsewhere. It is then that it loses its perennial tendency to corruption and becomes again what it once was - a startling new voice, redeeming us from our loneliness, framing our existence with meaning, and teaching us to remember what so much else persuades us to forget - that the possibilities of happiness are all around us. - Jonathan Sachs
http://www.lit-hum.org/2013/02/when-religion-is-at-its-best.html

The main aim of a religion that teaches love is to overcome narcissism. - Fromm (paraphrased).

Exactly!


More of the old "Don't ask me how I know, I just know, that's all." You insult your own intelligence.

I didn't.
It's was a logic conclusion.

Now back to my point.

Religious people kidnapping children from aboriginal families.
Protecting children from religious child abuse.
Same Same ?
