How a Positive Stereotype can be BAD.

I know a few people in my country who refused to allow their children go to school but instead schooled them at home. We learn so many negative things in school, I can attest to that fact.

There's a few negatives to home schooling. The first is lack of socialization. That includes being exposed to different people and realizing how others can think very opposite of you yet still be right.

Second is that your kids will never learn more than you know. Teachers have to learn how to teach a modern curriculum. As you advance, at least in the US, each teacher focuses on only 1 or 2 subjects. It makes them better at teaching that 1 thing, or at least that's the rationale behind the method. When kids ask things that aren't in the book are you going to know the answer?

Home schooling can be good if done right but I'm in favor of better public education. It exposes you to more.

Yes I get your point, I know majority of people including myself will choose public school but it has too many disadvantages. I learnt too many bad things in school. The only thing I don't like about home training is the possibility of the child not knowing more than the parent and also the child's unwillingness to agree to others point of view. But home training with good internet access might work too.

Thank God I am a genius😇
Social issues are easily dealt with by after school activities, clubs and groups. I always hosted weekend sleepovers for all of my Sons friends. You do need to be smart to homeschool a child and you also need to be creative with the social aspect. Not all parents of the time, smarts, patience or the structure to create a good homeschool environment.

This makes perfect sense.

It can work if done right but most people don't do it correctly. A guy at work has 2 teenagers that are homeschooled. Considering the school district we live in those kids are probably getting just as good if not better education at home. Given his very strong religious values I'm sure his kids are getting socialization through church activities.

Some people home school to cut off from society and that will hurt the kids more than protect them.

Too much church activity might not be good for a child who was home schooled.

I also home church them

I do not trust religion, I only trust the Word of God (The Bible) If it ain't in the Bible it ain't in my belief system. So their education included school and God.

Like anything it has to be done right. If they're taught proper morals, values, and that they have choices in life that's fine. If they're being threatened with hell over little things that's borderline abuse.

You do have a point, I agree.

My Children know the Grace message, they know they are forgiven of all sin, past, present and future. They understand that Jesus died for their sins and they know that Christ lives in them. And I tell them alway "Nothing can snatch you out of the hands of God" The devil is a week and sili thing to create doctrine about. We look to Jesus not to the devil. My children are given the truth from the bible Jesus + Nothing. I do not believe in religion in any way. I am stickily a saved bible believer. If it is not in the Bible, it is not in me. My Children will never be threatened with hell fire bullshit. They know they are saved and already have a place reserved in Heaven.

I'm a recovering Catholic and looking back on all the 'guilt-based' preaching converted me into the ultimate critic...once you know the motivation, you can anticipate all the 'maneuvers'

I'm also a recovering catholic. I thought all Christianity was like Catholicism. Glad I learned differently.

The thing that really got me was years of being raised Catholic and then my 10th grade history class. We learned all about the ending of Roman times and the history of Europe up until about the "discovery" of America. We were learning all this horrible shit the Catholic church did to people. It made me think that the religion was evil and driven by man, not God.

I haven't really read the bible since I found a new belief in God. Haven't gone to church much either. I do remember things I was taught when young though and look at them differently now. I also remember that the Bible was written by men and modified by man. I consider things from it to be a guide because of that. Some good stories and lessons that support the common belief of God.

I don't accept the hell fire stuff too.

Religion is terrible in all ways, it takes the beauty of the Bible and makes a mockery of it, especially Catholics. The truth is Gods Word. We are all born with a measure of faith and God reveals Himself to everyone in nature. You do not need to go to no church to get to know your God, He is right there inside of you always! We are saved by Grace, not works. We, who have been saints and no longer sinners but Saints! You are not a dirty worm, you are a beautiful child of God!

I try not to say which religion is right and which is wrong. In the end they all have a different interpretation of the same God and no one knows anything for certain until they die. I'm more than willing to call people out on claims that they "know" what God wants. If they can't accept that they won't know everything until they die then I won't continue the conversation.

Extremists exist everywhere. The actions of a few give the whole a bad reputation. I do my best to avoid being part of the problem.

I should go to church more because it allows me to hear things I may not on my own. It also keeps my mind open to different ideas and concepts. Question everything because it will give you a better understanding of what you're learning.

In my country, church is big business.

You are the Church! You don't need to go where you already are

The Church is the Body of Christ (all saved believers) with Jesus as the Head, not a building. Religion is simply taking Gods word and adding to it, something that is a big no no in Revelations. The Bible is the written word and the Holy Spirit is the spoken word, this is all anyone needs to find the freedom and peace of being one with Christ. Good bible reading that will inspire and will not take long is some of these book. I suggest reading in this order as you can the gospel of John, Hebrews, Romans, Corinthians, Galatians, 1 and 2 John, 1 and 2 Peter, The Acts of the Apostles. This will give you everything you will need to know about how perfect you are in Christ and just why. Please read these books and allow yourself the peace, joy and freedom I have!

I do need to do some reading.

The times I've been to our church I like it. The pastor is a great guy and does teach well. Some people believe you have to go to church to worship God. If that's what you believe chances are in daily life you're missing God

I don't go to church at all.
