I don't really agree with religion at a young age. I don't think parents should force their beliefs on their children just because they can. Children can be influenced very easily. Also, that child doesn't understand everything that they are hearing from their parents or the church that they go to. They should be allowed to make a decision when they are old enough to fully grasp all of the concepts of the given religion.
Parents should not use religion as a rule or to enforce a moral. Parents should be able to teach their children right and wrong without saying the kid will be punished when they die for it.
I think that religion does have positive morals to it, but I think that a child needs to grow up and build their own morals before finding a religion to suit them.
The great artists of our time are the ones who created something timeless. But it was never them defining it that way.
Everyone has a story. What's yours?
