Do parents have the right to choose their kids religion?

[Tomega]

If some1 chooses for u, it has no meaning coz u only get to see their point of view on religion.

[Mmathers]

Everyone has the right to choose their own beliefs when they are old enough.

I got a friend, ex-classmate, we both graduated from the jewish scool. Last summer another our ex-classmate gave here as a birthday present a jewish star (you know it's like made of 2 equilateral triangle). She really liked it, so she took the cross off her neck and put on this star instead. But then she told me that her mom was so mad and they were arguin so bad over it that she was ready to leave home and move to her dad's appartment. I think you gotta be pretty fuckin dumb to behave like her mom did. I was shocked 'cuz I can't even imagine a situation like that. My mom never talked to me about God or religion and that's somethin that I'm really greatful for 'cuz I she gave me chance to grow up and define my views and values myself

Nobody has the right to force anything upon anyone, period. But as Aspirine said somewhere in this thread, it is unavoidable that you'll be influenced by your surroundings when growing up, and if your family adheres to a specific religion that religion will be part of you as a frame of reference for beliefs and traditions. But I also think that "enlightened" parents have an obligation to teach their children about different world views and lifestyles so that these kids will be able to make a conscious decision when they've grown up whether they want to believe in a specific religion or not.
I do have a problem with religions where parents and siblings cut all ties to apostate relatives such as Jehova's Witnesses or the Amish - religion should never ever be considered more important than family!

I know i wont allow my child to change his religion even though I belive that they shoudl be allowed to change. Honestly, if you think about it its not fair that someone doesnt have a choice. After all, you should explore your religion and decide from there. Forcing someone to convert makes them convert unwillingly, and unfaithfully.

I don't think anybody have the right to choose for you.You should choose for you own.

I started life out as a Catholic and i went to catholic school. By 6th grade i started questioning my faith, I then realised that i didnt agree with it and to me alot of things didnt make sense. When i told my parents this they didnt care because neither of my parents are really religious they just thought that its good for a child to be part of a community.

So i suppose i am saying its ok for a parent to decide to put a child into a faith but they have to accept that when the child grows up that they may no longer agree with the faith.

You should never be forced to follow a religion.

I think you are right !! the kids should be able to choose when they are old enough, cuz to force somebody will only bring problems inside the family

[shady_soldierz]

wen ur born ur parents decide ur religion (cuz like wtf u cant choose one wen ur one) . but i think wen ur old enough 2 understand bout religion and want 2 change or adopt a religion, i think theyre shouldnt be a problem wit dat.

do parents should decide if the kid is gay or not?

this question is the same concept as the one you asked lol

[Prodeo]

you can't decide if you're gay or not.
you're gay or you ain't

[hot_dogg]

its perfectly legal, though i find everyone should be able to choose their own as there is so much diversity of religion
