the basic concept but does not understand the deeper meaning. Why make a child attend Sunday school classes when they may only serve to bias the child against religion? If church is viewed as a chore it is useless. You can only get what you want to get out of faith. If a person resents church and learning about God then they will never come away with anything substantial from it. Only later in life can a person truly make a decision about beliefs.Faith in god should be a choice made by the individual. Something as important as religious conviction should not be decided by others. Children should be introduced to religion and make a decision when they are mature enough. Forcing beliefs onto kids is not only unfair but also possibly harmful. A child must develop thoughts and ideas for themselves. Guidance by parents is necessary but a child still needs to make independent decisions. When parents do not give children a choice about things that can have a major impact on their lives, rebellion will most likely occur. Parents need to let the children choose, religion, or no religion. In the end it will be up to the child anyway....
