Understood. I didn't take it personally.

As for young children, though...just as you are entitled to impart your own beliefs and systems of values, morals, etc., onto your own children, Christian parents should also be given the same luxury. Parents should never be forceful when teaching their beliefs, and again, I apologize if you had an upbringing with a strict Christian influence. Conversely, I was brought up with practically no religious influence, remained an agnostic for twenty years or so, and still ended up choosing this as my faith.

I remember the few who did try to force Christianity on me when I refused to believe, and to this day I still despise them. It's not because of the religion they chose, but because of the kind of people they were - i.e., arrogant, self-righteous, and pompous assholes.
