What I mean by this question is, When parents program their kids with the Bible stories, and Christianity and such.
What effects does this have on their personalities and outlook on life?
I’ve been wondering this for awhile, I think it’s a fair question, I mean being indocternated and told that such and such is against someone who can send you to hell or whatever, should have a big affect on a child no?

I was pretty much raised like that but I still needed to develop a relationship/belief of God on my own. People can be raised to believe one thing and then follow a different path.

FEAR HELL FIRE - Evangelical American Christian Society.
Question answered. Complete and utter fear mongering and mental scarring.

Not necesarily.

Yes thats true, but kids can be programmed to believe a certian way at a young age. If you were raised as an atheist, what do you think you would be believing right now?

Depends, my life would probably be much different if I was raised an atheist.

Indeed. I was raised Christian myself, but I got away from the idealogies of my parents.
Let me ask you this, When you know you commit a sin, what is your first reaction? Or do you remember anything like that from when you were a child and a religious person scared you in some way with sin?
I think it scares the shit out of the youth of today.

Everyone thinks and acts how they’re programmed to by their environement, we just happen to soak up more when we’re a kid. I mean, let’s say there’s a caveman who lived his life wearing animal skins and spearing animals and drawing on the caves of his walls... is it really likely he just happen to choose all that by himself? Sure, you’ll find a few people who are totally alien to the society and time they live in, but this occourrence is not large enough to not be simple coincidental exposure of enough alien material to have developed different opinions and habits etc to that of your society and surely there will be some minor variation in most people especially in societies where information is more free like it is in ours.

My parents wouldn’t really bring up sin every time I sinned. Until I got older.

Being programed by normal envirement and being programmed to think your pissing off an omnipotent guy who will send you to a fiery pit of death for all eternity if you don’t believe in his son and don’t ask for forgivness are two ifferent things though.

Really? My parents did, but not to the extremes like say.... a nun would in catholic school or something.

But what is a normal environment? What is natural? The truth is, nothing. And even is something is natural I’d just like to say the way it’s meant to be isn’t necessarily always better.
Sorry, I’m just so pissed off with organic food companies and need to get it off my chest.
They are indoctrinated to fear hell and to escape it they must conform to their parents theological ideas and then pass the same shit down to their children.

To be honest I think really shaming your kids is a lot worse than smacking them.

You have a point there, But in my personal opinion, a natural life is people finding their own answers for something. For instance, My parents could have their religion and idealogies, but they shouldn’t force it on my brother and I, they should let us take our own spiritual journeys and make our own decisions about what we believe.
