True, but its a great place to start when evaluating whether or not rights should be rescinded and denied, or what should or shouldnt be promoted. In this case, clinically, there is nothkng of detriment to not exposing your child to those things. Not forcing them through a baptism will not damage them. There is just not enough evidence to support a claim that it is necessary or even important, and when deciding social policy we must resort to secularism to be most far too all, lest your idea if whole gets promoted on scant evidence while someone elses idea of whole, also based on scant evidence, gets pushed aside. If you can't clinically demonstrate this harm and necessity of these rituals then you only have your beliefs. Beliefs are not suitable for policy. More of than not it tramples the rights of others. Such as forced baptisms of those who cannot understand or consent.”Clinically” is not the be-all-end-all determiner of human well-being.
Amd yet its a spiritual tradition where killing rebellious kids is the way.A) It’s not “the book of my god.” It’s the collection of spiritual tradition of the Judaic and Christian faiths.
By what standards do you follow or ignore a rule?B) Those commandments have to be tempered by reason. Hence, why Jesus said it was OK for his disciples to pluck grain on the Sabbath.
But you adhere to a religion that did appropriate the religion of those Iron Age Jews.That’s because I’m not an Iron Age Jew.
Do you love your god by not following his commands and creating exceptions of your own devices on what and whem to follow them?Jesus said to love God and love neighbor. All other commandments depend on those two.
It is all based on their ancient superstitions, however, along with the even older superstitions and founding myths of the Hebrews.Because the entire religion isn’t just ancient, Palestinian Christians.
That doesn't answer my question.
Is it? Or is it a later[/QUOTE
I pulled it straight from what is considered a canon part of the Bible.
I have read the studies. You dont need religion or spirituality for those things.A narrow distinction of your own choosing. I don’t care to draw that distinction. Spiritual is spiritual.
Forced is forced, consent is consent. If you cannot objectively demonstrate why your are forcing a child to do something, then it's not your right and you are being selfish and expecting your child to live your life, not theirs.Violence and parental oversight are two separate issues.
You do if you want to rescind the rights of another in issues that you cannot demonstrate an objective need to do so.I don’t have to.
I do not have one.Can you objectively demonstrate that you love your significant other?
Athiests do nit have a religion, thus it could have been of their "sincerely held religious beliefs."It was not in accord with their sincerely-held religious beliefs.
It still stands your point was wrong of "no court in tue land."Yeah that s*** happens when parental sovereignty is eschewed.
And when parental sovereignty is eschewed, abuse isnt protected. Children who want to leave the religious community as adults are ready for that step. Idaho wouldn't have a mountain of needlessly dead kids. Measles and polio don't make a comeback (this one especially revolves around selfish parents because not vaccinating their children puts their children and any who cannot be legitimately vaccinated at risk).
