so I'm a Muslim and in the future I want my kids to be Muslim too. its not like I'm gonna force them to believe and have faith but you know everyone wants the best for their loved ones. I have many friend with different kinds of beliefs (atheist, deists, jew etc) and I've never act hard against them. but in my opinion without faith the human life is meaningless(in my opinion again). is it wrong to feel that way?
Personally I wouldn't introduce religion to my kids til they're like 10-15. They can choose their own religion if they want one and it's perfectly ok to not have one at all.
I do not believe in God but I wouldn't force that to my child or anyone else. Religion isn't everything, just be kind and be an asshole to other assholes. That's all.

Nope. My mom believe in budda and I'm ok with that as long as she doesn't relate everything to it. Everyone have different lives to lead, don't force yourself to follow others, at the same time don't force others. You'll lose more than you gain if you do that.(づ￣ ³￣)づ reply
Reminds me of Pascal's writing.
Although I disagree, I respect your opinion.
But here's a thing : atheists and agnostics' lives are just as meaningfull as yours. You see, meaning is inhearly subjectif. What you consider as the meaning of life -your faith- might differ from, say, the meaning I give to my existence.

If you want what's "best" for them then why would you want them to be shackled by something as inherently restrictive as a religion, regardless of what that religion is or isn't, as opposed to being able to live a life where they can freely express themselves without some nebulous thing looming over them 24/7? 1 reply
Unless your kids bring up wanting to engage in religion, or become Muslim, you probably shouldn't pin that on them, or suggest it at such a young age. I would reccomend you bring it up when theyre a teen if you want, but religion after all is very restrictive, and putting that on children can be extremely stressful and confusing for them. reply
I personally didn't like being forced to pray or having my parent's faith being shoved down my throat. As a 7 year old I couldn't care less about God (or Goddess, because they were New Age Whackos). For me religion is like politics and sex, it belongs to the adult realm, children don't want it and don't need it. But my opinion is obviously biased b...... 2 reply
It is not wrong to choose to pass on your faith to your children. I was raised without faith and often felt like I was missing something.
Faith gives solace and unites groups of similarly minded people with common beliefs. There is comfort and community as well as tradition with religion that is nice. Most provide an ethical code as well that is...... reply
I agree with that thought on faith, and actually if you look it up atheists have the highest suicide rate, followed by Protestants then Catholics. Not sure if they’re related but it is something to think about https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7310534/

Well to be honest, I personnaly have some beliefs but I am not folowing any religion in particular so my point of view might be different of other however I thing that keeping an open mind should be the most important.
I mean reading your comment you seem to be understanding and open-minded so I don't see why it would be wrong. Faith (in anything r...... reply
