I’m so against teaching children religion. I grew up in a christian family, going to church twice a week. As a kid, I had so much OCD stemming from religion it was unhealthy. I was constantly worried that I would go to hell and burn, all because I didn’t “love” god like they said I should. I was taught to unconditionally love a man that i’ve never even met, and was told that if he ever tells me to do something that I have to do it. No questions asked. Who teaches that to a child??

I say this every chance I get because it’s been 8 years and I still can’t believe it. I had brain cancer at 14, my friends mom told me to my face, it’s because I don’t have enough god in my life. Funny how according to her, that’s the same god that saved me in the end.

I grew up in the Bible Belt, so I’ve seen every reason why organized religion is not good for kids. My parents left a church because the members shamed them for “letting” my brother and I go to public school instead of homeschooling. On another note, the best part of these religion posts is the crazy Bible thumper that shows up because any criticism of the institution is seen as a full blown attack. 4 is cracking me up.

yk what's indoctrination? telling elementary and middle school aged kids that they are allowed to change their genders and mess around with their physiological existence. idgaf if it's in a "healthy" way. those children can't even wipe their asses properly and adults are teaching them that they can express themselves in ways that makes them "comfortable in their own skin." yk what that does to a kid? makes their parents hate them, makes them hate themselves, exposes them to a lifelong cycle of imposter syndrome, self-doubt, feeling ostracized, homophobia, and health complications. so EXCUSE ME for believing in a religion and wanting to believe i have a purpose in this world.

Religion was made because people were to scared of the fact of life, they created a god to distract them from their wrong doings and the reality of life. We all live in agenda while some may rely on the concept on the big man telling us what’s right and wrong. It’s pretty obvious what life is more freeing. Life to you and what makes you happy 🫶

another thing is that Islam requires humans to seek knowledge. for both men and women. the first university was literally founded by a Muslim woman in Morocco. Islam encourages humans to question the answer and never settle for what's given to you. is believing in fate and destiny really so bad? is believing that you were made to do good in this world so bad? is believing that there's a method to the madness so bad?

(Cont) y'all are so odd. talking about "let's encourage the kids to 'be who they want to be'" but when religion comes into play you call it indoctrination. not all religions are sexist. 1400+ years ago, when Islam was first born, CENTURIES BEFORE THE WEST BECAME FEMINIST, women were provided with a myriad of rights. namely, the right to education, knowledge, land, money, business, divorce, travel, financial independence NOT AT ALL RELIANT ON A MAN, leadership, voting, and many more. this didn't come from a man-made essay. this was all brought to mankind by God through his book the Quran. if you read some passages you'll see for yourself. Islam literally invented feminism at a time where the west was burning women at the stake and calling them witches.

clearly ideas and beliefs that humans themselves have implemented are the ones at fault. humans decided that women should be oppressed. humans decided that exposing children to things they shouldn't be exposed to is okay because it helps them find themselves. humans kill and pillage and ethnically cleanse and rape and harm. religion came as a means to purify humanity and correct its wrongdoings. each one has its own way of doing it. Islam is the most clear-cut and perfect one out of all. it's literally in the book. which is the pure, raw word of God. "[...] This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion [...]" (5:3).

Genuine question, how do you still believe in gods in 2026? Religion was created to explain the world when we didnt know what science was. It’s like believing in fairies, unicorns, and dragons. It’s mythology. You’ve never seen any god, so why do you just blindly believe in it because a book told you to? You don’t blindly believe in anything else

FOR ME, the hardest part of cancer treatment was not the illness itself but sitting in a waiting full of children who will never leave the hospital. Children too young to walk yet receiving chemo. It’s fucking mentally disturbed to see that and believe it’s happening for a reason, a lesson and most of all because they’re a sinner at 5 years old.

It was easy for my parents to nope out of that because by the time the shaming started we were already in high school so to them so even if they felt the shame it wasn’t like they could “reverse the damage” in the 1-4 years (I forget how old we were) especially when we were both in extra curriculars. I’m autistic and that crowd was growing increasingly antivaxx so that was a factor as well I think. What’s funny about 4 to me is how they’re slowly losing the transphobe upvotes

that's not true at all. some of the greatest polymaths and scientists were Muslim. have you never learned about the Islamic Golden Age? where in The House of Wisdom, in BAGHDAD, IRAQ, which has been bombed by America for 23 years, was the biggest city in the world. it was the central hub of scientific discoveries, a place where scholars from all over the world came to learn and teach. a literal Muslim invented Algebra. the word itself is rooted in Arabic. Muhammad ibn Musa al-Khwarizmi. some of the biggest medical discoveries ALSO HAPPENED IN THE HOUSE OF WISDOM. for example, cataract surgery. it was done by the hands of Muslims for the very first time. everyone here that is calling religion indoctrination and harmful has some form of trauma from it. nothing in Islam, NOTHING, is hard to understand or doesn't make sense. all you have to do, is use google. and you'll see for yourself. it's not hard.

what else am I supposed to "blindly" believe in? the bigbang? that something so incredibly complex such as that just simply happened? that the very existence of humans simply happened? now THAT makes no sense. yk what else is very interesting? that in the Quran, there is a very clear, step by step description of embryology. in no other religious text will you find something like that. "And indeed, We created humankind from an extract of clay, then placed each ˹human˺ as a sperm-drop in a secure place, then We developed the drop into a clinging clot, then developed the clot into a lump ˹of flesh˺, then developed the lump into bones, then clothed the bones with flesh, then We brought it into being as a new creation. So Blessed is Allah, the Best of Creators. After that you will surely die, [...]" (23:12-15).

Islam doesn't teach children that they're sinners. it teaches them that sin exists and the nuance behind why they should avoid sinning. it teaches them the beauty of doing good deeds and why you should be a good person. I'm sorry that you didn't get that from Christianity, but that doesn't give you a right to blame other religions for your trauma.

Exactly, I was pointing out how you were pushing the burden of proof onto others.
