I remember being a Sunday school and them telling me that god could see every thing I did and thought. I would go to hell if I thought bad things or did bad things. I remember being terrified. Its like being scared that a drunk parent is going to come home and beat you because their drunk and in a bad mood. Yes I think its child abuse.

My experience exactly. Realising what's real has been a slow process, but I'm glad that I no longer have any lingering thoughts about the existence of xtian (or any) god; quite happy to know there's no afterlife, no judgment day, nothing supernatural.

Thank you... Yes, it IS child abuse, plain and simple... To terrify (and thereby limit) a young developing mind can not be viewed and/or justified any other way! There is NO other environment in the world where
that type of fear mongering is tolerated at all, let alone considered "acceptable".

My 2 daughters were raised in an Atheist home that eschewed mythology, magic, ghost, goblins and things that go bump in the night. My 4 grandchildren are also not burdened with religious tripe.
Putting the "fear of god" into children's mind is, in fact, abuse.

That is why they must not have their brains filled with Religious Bullshit before they learn some Science. In that Richard Dawkins is right.

my wife and I agreed that we would not introduce our unborn child to any religion or belief. She is a beautiful woman now with children of her own and many friends. I believe we made the correct decision.

Nathan Young That's true Jonathan Brown.  At one time I was a member of the MRA board when it was more open towards hearing an orthodox Mormon views on things.  Since that time the MRA is now under the stewardship of a new 'religion' the 'Society for Humanistic Mormonism' which is merely another apostate religion.  It will fail just like all other apostate forms of Mormonism have failed including might I add the Mormon "Transhumanist" Association and their kind, and all the front…

Hello fellow atheists!  I have joined this site in an attempt to find other rational individuals, such as myself, and to promote a current charity drive that I am trying to get going for the Oklahoma tornado victims.  I have managed to get many groups from around my area, including the Beyond Belief Foundation to back me on this endeavor. 

I am located in Newnan, Ga and have my own atheist group entitled "Coweta County Atheists".  I am currently being backed by Spaulding Co.…
