Against.
1.I will say as children, parents will always lead and a child follow but a time comes when children can make their choices and their parents support them. If it was so from the beginning then our first father God will have imposed or chosen his will for us but he has left it in our hands as children to make that choice to follow him.
2.I believe it is but normal to give our children an equal opportunity to make decisions to some sensitive issues as religion. When they need your help they will obviously come for it.
3.Making some sensitive decisions as this could only end up hurting your children and rendering them from being happy in the chosen religion. Many parents have ended up hurting their children because of what they thought best for them.

I have upvoted all your comments. The main prize award will be on Saturday.
The STEEM DEBATE TEAM is open for suggestions for the next TOPIC which will be lauched on sunday, if the Lord permits.

What do you suggest to be the topic of our next debate?

Against

  1. There is enough information at the children reach that they don't need their parents to take such decision for them.
  2. The parents can't force the children to do any for ever. The children will do what they want to do any way. So parents should not waste their time trying to choose religion for their children.
  3. Spiritually is a personal matter so parents should leave the children decide for themself.
    So i am against the topic for the debate round #1.

FOR

THE FIRST THING TO ACKNOWLADGE HERE IS THAT WE ARE ALL SUPPOSE TO BE TALKING ABOUT CHILDREN THAT ARE MATURE ENOUGH TO DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES.

  1. A PARENT THOSE NOT STOP BEING A PARENT JUST BECAUSE THE CHILD IS NOW MATURE AND GROWN UP. SO IF THE BIBLE TEACHES THAT THE CHILDREN SHOULD HONOUR AND OBEY THEIR PARENTS THEN THEIR PARENTS SHOULD CHOOSE THEIR RELIGION FOR THEM AND THEY SHOULD ACCEPT IT IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR AGE.

  2. THE PARENT HAS BEEN HERE LONGER AND JUST HAVE HAD MORE TIME TO RESEACH THE ISSUE OF RELIGION SO THEY ARE BETTER PLACED TO CHOOSE THE BEST RELIGION FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

  3. EVERY PARENT WANTS WHAT IS BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN SO CHILDERD SHOULD TRUST THE DECISIONS OF THEIR PARENTS.
    IF THEIR PARENTS SAY THAT THEY SHOULD BE CHRISTIANS OR MUSLEMS OR BUDDHISTS; THEY HAVE TO OBEY. THEY LOVE THEIR CHILDREN AND THEY WANT THE BEST FOR THEIR CHILDREN.

  4. THE BIBLE SAYS CHILDREN SHOULD OBEY THEIR PARENTS IN THE LORD SO A PARENT THAT IS LETTING THE CHILD CHOOSE WHETHER TO FOLLOW THE SAME RELIGION AS THEM IS SINNING. CHOOSE FOR YOUR CHILD. IT IS THE PARENT'S RESPONSIBILITY TO CHOOSE, IT IS GOD WHO MADE IT THAT WAY.

  5. IF GOD WANTED YOU TO BE A BUDDHIST HE WOULD HAVE GIVEN YOU A BUDDHIST PARENT. IF YOU HAVE MUSLEM PARENTS THEM ITS CLEAR THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE A MUSLEM. A YOUNG GOAT EATS ONLY WHAT THE MOTHER GOAT EATS. A MOTHER GOAT CAN NOT TEACH A YOUNG GOAT TO EAT MEAT. THE LION SHOULD NOT TEACH THE CUB TO EAT GRASS. THE PARENTS SHOULD CHOOSE.
    IT IS NATURE

AGAINST

  1. Despite the fact that i feel that things like religion and where we intend to spend eternity is a personal decision, parents still have as responsibility to guard young children until they come of age to read, research and decide their path.
  2. Children who are of age should be aloud to choose their path to religion and path in life so as to avoid the blame game tendency. We as humans always like to blame others for failures in our lives but if we are aloud to choose our path we will do our research and choose wisely since we know there will be no one to blame but ourselves at the end.
  3. Thirdly eternity is a long time to be put on a parents conscience if their decision or choice of religion was wrong. So every child should be left to research and make decisions on their religion.
  4. More so, given the fact that RELIGION has to do with FAITH which in simple words is deep believe in things unseen, parents should not choose religion for their children because for the children to have faith, they have to be convinced without any doubt of their path, and that can only be achieved by personal research and conviction.
  5. Given the fact that the children are in a more advanced world technologically, it will be a shame if they don't use all this information at their disposal to make more decisions on issues like their religion than to follow their parents blindly.
  6. Finally religion entails a lot of service and sacrifice that can only be genuine if the children made the choice themselves. On the other hand the tasks entailed in religion will surely weigh the children down emotionally if the religion was forced down their throats by their parents.
    Thank you

bonus you even followed; GREAT
took a stand AGAINST, PERFECT
number points: GOOD

FOR

1.) Children must be guided by their parents, it is the duty of parents to do so. After the children are older they will choose if they follow the religion of their parents or initiate their own search.

2.) We all have the right to find our place in the world and that includes our religion, work, couple, friends and way of living and dying, even as we want our body to be treated.
