Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

No you're just proving my point
So not wanting children to be indoctrinated is being edgy? Thats an interesting take
I never said that
Care to elaborate on what you meant in that case?
Thing is. I wonder if I can, because I know what game you're playing. It's the game people like you always play. You hunt for anything that can have any unsavory interpretation and pretend that's what I meant.
I've seen enough of that on youtubers and in talking with those predispositioned to reddit atheism to know that's what you're going to do.
So I'm just gonna talk my ball and go home.
There's nothing wrong with having a religion but there's everything wrong with abuse and zealotry.
I wouldn't say I'm playing "a game" but I do find it amusing when religious people find all kinds of nonsensical reasons for why it's totally necessary in modern society. Which I obviously disagree with.
Your response is fair and one of the more measured ones I've ever read, I commend you for that
I'll take your last paragraph as the explanation. I do think having a religion, if you actually fully buy into it not just pay lip service to it, is bad.
Perhaps I misjudged you then. Sorry I'm too used to dealing with bad faith agents in these discussions.
For the record I'm not religious I just have people close to me who are. And it just burns my toast when people like them get lumped in with Ya'll Queda just because someone online thinks they're being hilarious and cute.
