Christian. Would you teach your child to use a scapegoat at school?
Christian. Would you teach your child to use a scapegoat at school?
If not, why do you give your child an example of you doing that immoral thing by planning to use Jesus as your scapegoat?
It is a part of your theology and personal plan to try to take advantage of God sacrificing his son, while at the same time telling your children not to do so at school and man up.
Is it moral for you to say to your child, do as I say and not as I plan to do?
In effect, that is what you Christian parents are doing and showing a corrupt double standard of morality.
Is that good parenting to you?
Care to look at the poor justice of such a policy?
Christian. Would you teach your child to use a scapegoat at school?
In some circumstances, yes, it is.
For instance, if I know my child is allergic to peanuts,
I would be very remiss not to say to him
"Janus, Daddy's in a hurry.
He's going to make himself a PBJ sandwich and then leave for work.
Don't eat that sandwich. Mommy will be down shortly to fix you breakfast."

Re: Re: Christian. Would you teach your child to use a scapegoat at school?
I can't quite agree with intent being everything.
Intentions matter, and matter a great deal, but they are not the whole of a story.
We DO both agree that safeguarding our children is more important than explaining everything to them.
For starters, for children of a certain age at least,
it's not always possible to explain a thing well enough for them to take appropriate action in response.
Incidentally, were you to find a way to view that video clip I posted
(say by ... borrowing a friend's iPhone?),
you'd probably find yourself agreeing with deGrasse Tyson's argument, too.
Actually, since it's short enough,
I'll transcribe the relevant portion of his response here for you:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I'm not an "ism" ...
I think for myself.
The moment when someone attaches you to a philosophy or a movement,
then they assign all the baggage and all the rest of the philosophy that goes with it TO you,
and when you want to have a conversation,
they will assert, that they already know everything important there is to know about you,
because of that association.
And that's not the way to have a conversation
I'm sorry. It's not."
