Forcing your religion on your children -- correct?

Is forcing the religion you follow onto your children, a correct thing to do? Or should the children have the right to chose their own religion, their own view of life??

yes not unless it involves circumcision!!!!! because that becomes tangible torture!!!!!!!

yes it is acceptable for parents to teach their children their religion and its up to them to follow that or not. at least when they a young they are taught their own religion. if they feel they are not able to follow that religion then they are free to change it after growing up

of course the parents cannot force their children to follow their faith if their children want to believe in different faith. but usually the parents do not force they just teach the religions they believe in to their children but when the children want to convert to other religions afterwards it is up to them even though there are not many people who want to convert from the faith that their parents teach to them.

r u sure that u'll have no problem if ur child (or member of ur family) becomes a christian/muslim?

but there r many pseudo religions as well like satan worshipping...so u cant just throw ur child into those in the name of freedom of choosing religion!

actually u r right!!!!!!
its very difficult to let your children to follow some other religion. but its very rare when people change their religion. it is something which u learn and follow from ur childhood. the only reason i can think of would me if u marry a person from another religion. in which case parents do agree for their childrens happiness.

Religion is never forced on children's . It becomes a part and parcel of life as one gets born in a home and get use to what he learns with the people he is living and also gets the name and identity with the religion !!!


Religion gives the identity to the people , but it depends upon the belief and non-belief , as a man without religion is incomplete and his life has no base. Whether the person is Hindu ,Muslim or Christian the biggest thing is respect all the religion and shouldn't hurt the sentiments of the believers .
Because in life religion plays important role because it connects the god the maker of this world...
