The title of this thread is "Need your opinion. (religious debate)". It concerns a small child being force-fed religious nonsense by some religious moron. How can any religious discussion be classed as 'off-topic'?

I'd take the kid to a museum and look at some big ass bones all wired together to form a skeleton of one of them big reptiles!
The young man can make his own mind up about their existence!
Thems real bonnafide calciferous bones mate
I'd break the guys leg if it were me. That's your damned son not the god blokes kid.

of course a jolly cup of tea and a wee chin wag would be the mature 'first' course of action. maybe you could slip the option of a broken femur into the discussion?

Um - I think you'd end up with a skeleton of a big ass, which isn't a reptile.

That is true he can believe what he likes and that is his choice, but when someone has a greater oppourtunity to influence him over the other then is he getting a balanced argument?

Please don't remind me of the years Bounty




Sorry for the misunderstanding

Hey no worries mate. Easy to do on the internet.

Well said, but perhaps you should have read the posts in this thread before posting??

Or perhaps posted while sober...lol

I thought a "mark in the sand" was necessary. I could have gone back and retrospectively moved posts to the Scottish thread, and may still do so if the topic varies away from how best to impart one's values onto a child that does not live with one.

At least my post succeeded in attracting some bitter red rep from my fan club. Happy New Year!

Tell the boy that if he becomes a god botherer everyone will think he is a fairy.

[Pixie]

Just becasue we are a bunch of idiots, doesn't mean to say God is.

I thought he was supposed to have made Man in his image?

Would that be big ARSE bones of a reptile or big ASS bones wired to look like a reptile.
Do reptiles even have a true arse?

Tell your kid to say one single word... "Why?"

The religious types will soon run out of answers and resort to "Because of God", which is very unsatisfactory for a kid.
We got told not to ask questions at Sunday School.

The very reasons why religion every sunday for me is a turn off...My beliefs are just that Mine, I dont force on others and they sure as heck dont force them on me.

Fubar, Could I ask you to sit down with your child and ask him what he wants to believe, don't tell him your way is right and the ex`s new man is wrong....give him the power to choose.

Also if you are still stewing over the problems you are having with the ex`s man , ask yourself what the problem is ...and then ask yourself again ...But what Is the real problem.

And if its still there , then a conversation with him not the ex, (you should never tell someone else to stop doing something you don't like through others),
Would be the only way to go....do this on neutral ground, at a cafe...shopping mall...somewhere where you wont be tempted to knock his block off on account of witnesses....

Conversation and communication......Has to be a 2 way thing...if he starts yelling ,suggest to him that when hes calmed down , you will continue the conversation when he`s calm again , likewise don't go off half cocked and pre-judgemental.

These are just thoughts and opinions, take of these what you want , ignore them if you must.

Hope it all turns out best for Your boy.

Ps remember this is not about you or your ex and her man, it should be about your child`s wants and needs.

But then a father trying to protect their son whether right or wrong is not a loving father?

Your right there , protecting one you love whether its right or wrong very much shows a true parents love for their child.

Mate its 2008, its time you mods all just relaxed and enjoyed the ride; us mere mortals just waffle on about all sorts of stuff, so why not just let it happen and friendships will blossom. You don't need no stinken red rep, let it flow and the green will follow.

Happy new Year.

As for the topic, what does the ex think - is she happy with the boy learning this stuff? If so this is not an easy situation to beat. Explain your side of it and if necessary let it go. He'll make up his own mind I am sure.

ahh that's just a normal sized skeleton with normal sized people far in the background....it's the cheapest and oldest photographic and cinematic trick in the book...older than the bible itself
