the topic at hand isnt about religion though... its about how far you intervein into your childs molding....

people are starting to take it away from the point... i think the reason religion is banned from most chat areas is that it becomes a discussion of beliefs rather than good idea/bad idea... im sure that if this thread gets to the religion vs religion topic- it will get locked and i will get a pm or email about an infraction..

i was asking the parents here about any thoughts on guidance.. i wish my child to have the knowelege to make her own decision on her beliefs and her faith, and not avoid filling her with my beliefs(which MOST parents that i have spoken with seem to do).

i am new to being around a christian school so i am just trying to get unbiased thoughts from others. usually most musicians are more ecclectic type of person than your average joe.

i have not stated my personal beliefs on the subject of religion- and wont--- i just was inquiring upon thoughts.

some family members of mine believe the EXACT things their parents believe- now was that by default or by choice? most likely default...

but if i show a lack of guidence- will my child resist the whole idea?

its kinda like the whole "will my daughter pick up guitar" i want that to be her choice and try to avoid pushing it on her. BUT the fact that i am heavily involved in it- will she do it to be like me, or if i push it on her, will she refuse to rebel??? if i say i dont care if she is interested or not, and want her to develop on her own---- i am being as unbiased as i can be... the problem about the true topic in question is that i was not directly exposed to religion at a young age so i do not know what that experience will lead her.

i think its a fair question and within the relm of our guidelines.
