Is teaching children hate, Child Abuse?
Advertisements [?]
I'm not trying to advocate passing any laws or intruding into anyone's family lives, but when parents teach their children hate, racism or homophobia (to mention just a few) isn't that child abuse? Racists seem to come from racist parents. It seems to be flaw passed down from one racist generation to another. But doesn't teaching a child hatred in any form forever harm them? And when they grow up they teach their children the same defective traits. We can easily see countless examples of the victims of their hatred.

I know as long as there is more than one person left on earth there will be disagreements. But why is there so much hatred in the world today? And what mystifies me most is the absolute intolerance from fundamentalist, conservative Christians. They seem to judge, condemn and hate more than any other demographic. What kind of 'God' do they believe in that drives them to act the opposite of everything Jesus taught?
