Depends on if the kid is an atheist. I was forced to go to church and participate in youth activities and it was the most miserable experience of my life cos I knew I didn't fit in. Imagine you're a Christian that's forced to go to a Muslim school, and just imagine how out of place you would feel being taught something you didn't believe in while everyone around you believes in it.

@misswednesday299 Год назад

I agree, it would definitely make you feel like a fish out of water. But it's not something that's unheard of. Some of my Muslim friends have been educated in Catholic schools, my own father as well in the Carribean in an Anglican school (but that was because of colonialism, so folks were beaten by nuns and stuff, but somewhere through it my Muslim father still found value in certain aspects of the canonical Western education). I think if you put your children in those schools, I think it's important to also teach them your own value system within your own home. There are always going to be challenges regardless. But I think putting them into a religious school, should definitely be when the children are older and have faculties of reason and not preschool/elementary like the caller is thinking of signing them up for.

My mum was catholic and my father was atheist, I was sent to a Christian school - it was a given and I was on the wait list since I was 3 or 4 years old. But religion was never a topic of contention, it was always up to me what I believed and I found my way to Jesus later on in life. I loved school despite considering myself an atheist at the time. The underpinnings of the morality that come through are wonderful.

Most Christian schools have a "statement of faith" that needs to be signed before attendance. That might put an end to the debate before it even starts. I suggest the caller needs to go find a secular private school that teaches his preferred values and send them there.

Actually In the catholic faith this practice of not allowing other people of other faith or ideas join their schools is no longer practiced for a very long time now. And as you may be aware Catholicism is the oldest form of Christianity. Just researching into google the first thing that pops up is and I quote “Contrary to what you might assume, Catholic schools don't usually restrict attendance to those of the Catholic faith. In fact, most schools today accept students regardless of their religious beliefs because many institutions have become more inclusive over the past few decades” as a former catholic my family went to schools with people of all religions and ideologies. If the new born Christian schools won’t take them I’m sure the catholic ones will.

@darrylelam256 Год назад

Yea but some of these schools will actively try to turn kids against their parents. And its not just atheist kids but if you are the wrong denomination of christianity. Exposing your kids to new ideas is fine, but sending them to a christian school is likely going to end up with them exposed to just one idea.

Honestly, if neither parent is Christian, I don't see sending his child to a Christian school and taking that slot on the roster away from a Christian family. If dad wants the child to learn morals, ethics, and structure, the child will learn that watching his parents. If the parents live with morals, ethics, and structure, the child will learn it by living it, not by being told about it.

I am an atheist, since I was 16. I had such a great time in private Christian school, if I change my mind and have kids some day… they’re 100% going to private school. I felt genuinely cared for and supported and it was a small, family-like environment. I’d want my kids to have that. I know it sounds paradoxical for an atheist to do that- but as a social conservative also. I really get where he’s coming from.

@ganymedehedgehog371 3 месяца назад

Yeah I went to a catholic school for parts of my k-8 and it’s a much better experience than when I was at public. The religious studies, mass, and prayer aren’t disruptive to studies like how people that never went to one think. The School Lunches were made by parents/grandparents and there were more school events.

@Maddie Fishblob Homeschooling doesnt mean no social gatherings. Part of homeschooling is hanging out in other groups often with other homeschooled kids. Facebook groups are good for this.

As parents we need to be a role models and practice what we preach. Teaching ethics, morals and religion is not the responsibility of the school but of parents.

Kids need guidance, both at home and at school. I think raising them with conflicting beliefs is a recipe for confusion and chaos. Either be a united family that's all in on X religion or all out.

Plus, the quality of our public schools are plummeting here in the US. In some states, there isn't a single quality public school in the entire country. I remember growing up, my brother and I attended (non-religious) private schools, while my step-siblings attended public school, and I distinctly remember graduating having had entire courses on subjects that my step-siblings' education never even touched upon. This isn't to say I find myself in any way superior to them, and it's not my intention to come across as such. They're both incredibly intelligent people. This is me commenting on the education they received, not them. I'm simply saying that when you find yourself learning about subjects neither of your step-siblings knew the first thing about upon graduation, it makes a statement about who received the better education. Same held true for my brother. Personally, I think non-religious private school is the way to go.

I still believe the Bible holds tons of truths though and is overall great for society. It's sad to see how many people have rejected the common sense morals of the Bible overall even if I can grant some people's concerns of some of the morals also. With people rejecting their moral compass the world has clearly gone mad to the point of rejecting basic male and female. Talk about a way to destroy your identity and never have a foundation! Either way--the guy's probably right as long as the school upholds the basic morals of the Bible. It's better for humanity--but it will very likely cause problems one day if they do send their (now 1 year old) kid to a Christian school one day. Just not now. They won't have problems til the children talk and explain their beliefs back and find pushback from mom.

@9liveslisa Год назад

My sister and I were sent to a Catholic convent for a year because my father was ill. (5th & 6th grade). We weren't Catholic. It was a big change because of the religion and having to live there. But in hindsight now, we were in a safe place and we got a good education. The downside was we felt a little bit like heathens because we weren't religious. We had to take religion class and we had to go to mass once a week on Sunday at a nearby church and once a month we had a big mass for all the students at the Convent. The worst thing that happened was when my sister and I got pushed in a line by other students to get communion from a priest. We were new to the school and the other students didn't understand that we didn't belong up there. And we didn't know what was going on. My sister and I were nervous being in line and I told my younger sister to pay attention to what was happening and just do what everyone else was doing. So we did. We eventually got to the priest and we took the wafer in our mouth and gave the sign of the cross and walked away thinking to ourselves what the heck was all that about. After the mass, we were told to go to one of the Sister's offices and we got yelled at were told that God was going to strike us down dead with lightening! After the Sister stopped yelling at us, I asked her if I could speak and I said "Surely the God you teach us about every week is not going to strike two children down dead with lightening when they had absolutely no idea what they were doing." She then proceeded to yell again and told us to leave her office. I have to say that I am glad I had the experience of living in a convent for a year because it opened up my world a little bit more. We were very sheltered and I learned that not all people live the way my family did. It taught me to have an open mind.

I feel like you should just as a parent provide a safe environment which makes it easy to be safe for your kids be allowed to see what they like for themselves. I would personally have never sent my kids to a Christian school growing up as I thought it was indoctrination and I still kind of do, but I’d never send my kids to a public school now, not with how the states have become, that’s just insanity. We are living in a weird world and I think now more than ever we should just provide safer environments showing a variety of belief systems so kids can know what resonates for them. I saw an atheist down here in comments somewhere say they’d rather send their kid to a Christian school than a public one. I so agree. Maybe emphasize to your wife and kids before they start if you choose to send them there, that she is also allowed to share her own beliefs and that we can all be different and you guys share what you believe and want them to see for themselves what they believe and tell them it’s ok to believe or not believe what their formal school says and also to believe or not believe what dad or mom have as their faiths and to treat everything as guideposts rather than absolutes. I always hated church, never went & would have hated being forced but maybe it’s an opportunity with your inner family to explore many varieties of thought. That would be one cool family imho.

Because we do not believe in the miracles of Jesus do not mean the things he did is not real. Earthly beings are limited in knowledge necessary. Beyond that it's spiritual. A need to know basis at the appointed times. This is when faith begins.

As long as they let the school teach what they do i guess. I am a Christian, I wouldn't send my kid to a school that teaches atheism and then be upset with the school for teaching atheism.

Why is she an Atheist and why is she so staunch. Sounds like mom would not be okay letting the school criteria be honored and would confuse the kiddo in having a positive outcome.

It’s a great idea! Find the academic record of the school and make the conversation about the reputation for a great education. Who cares what type of school it is of like 80% of their graduates go to college or university or on to a successful career? Are they caring? Do they have good teachers? Compare that with public schools who are getting famous for the wrong things these days, distracting from classical education. Most Christian schools know not everybody there is Christian and will respect it if you ask that your kids opt out of certain lessons. The school will teach what it teaches and the kid will be exposed to Christian ideas… The best thing we did before choosing schools was pick 5/15 nearby and schedule visits. That told us everything we needed to know! We saw private, public, charter, Christian, and Jewish. We wound up picking for the teachers and the child’s comfort level. Only 1 school did we adore the teacher right way and the same school was the only 1 where our kid began playing in the classroom. She liked it and was comfortable right away during the visit. That was it. Best. It was the best choice! It happened to be Christian and what a community! When one 1st hear preschool student got cancer all the fundraisers went to his family for his treatment or anything else they needed. It is a phenomenal place! I didn’t know how lucky we were. Recently moved out of that state for other opportunities and now at public schools. The top 2 public schools in this state with an amazing robotics program. But. It’s not the same. The teachers are great. And the kids are doing ok. But it’s different and they’re different. They used to say “we get to go to school today!” Now they say, “aw man. We have to go to school today?” It was a privilege.

The children may be uncomfortable having parents who have different beliefs than those of their classmates. Having taught in a Christian school, I would welcome the opportunity to share my faith with such students but I'm concern about the social discomfort that these children will experience.

Christianity is a faith about Jesus Christ. A man who gave up all of his self for the sake of others. He died on a cross for the sins of all humanity, especially atheists whom He loved so much regardless of whether they love Him back, and the only thing he asks in return is to accept this gift by taking up the same cross _metaphorically_ by loving our neighbours, strangers, the poor, the weak and the broken-hearted. This caller and many other commenters on this video say, “I like the ‘love me’ and ‘do good to me’ part that is socially conservative,” (what does that even mean?! Jesus wasn’t a Conservative or a Liberal) but I definitely don’t want anything to do with the “take up your cross” or “die to self” (metaphorical) or the “love God with all your MIND” part of Christianity. A bunch of atheists proving why they are atheists.

Problem is, the Bible is the world's oldest Rorschach Test. Everyone who reads it sees something different. You don't need to subscribe to any particular theology to be a good person and know that life is better for all concerned if we treat others the way we want to be treated. Religions use fear and intimidation through their own interpretations of "God's Word" in order to indoctrinate/intimidate people and keep church coffers full. That practice doesn't align with the Golden Rule by any stretch of the imagination. Furthermore, I cannot believe it's what a loving creator would want of us.

@LaniLanilei Год назад

Lots of hypocritical Christians but there are some who are not. Few. God is not interested in quantity but quality. God don't need us. He can destroy all of us and start over. But he is keeping his promise. To save obedient ones for his new paradise on earth. There ought to be a standard. A requirement. We see this in colleges etc. Jesus said to seek God's Righteousness. That's his standards. Start studying the Bible. You do not need to accept but study.
