Why not give him a choice instead of imposing your doctrines on your kid?

I mean not that it matters, since every new genereantion is going to have exponentially more stupid shit like fedoraism, agnosticism, satanism etc. The chances of your kid remaining a good little christian are gonna be low. Take it from someone whos been there. Its better to let him face the reality early on. Instead of it crashing down on him later on. Its gonna cause him some issues.

Shel Siverstein

Beatrix Potter
George MacDonald's fairy stories
The Hobbit

Lately I've been reading them Huck Finn (Daddy, what does nigger mean?) and my eldest has been reading Hemmmingway (Old Man & the Big Two Hearted River stories. He's obsessed with fishing.)

We've been reading the Bible with them and are in 1 Kings, have told them them the stories of the Iliad and the Odyssey (without actually reading them yet). They also love to hear stories from Icelandic sagas and Norse myth (which they prefer to Greek, but that's only natural). They enjoy ancient history books as well. It's gone well telling the stories from Der Ring des Nibelungen, though have little tolerance for the operas themselves. They are just kids, right?

So nice to see you still have your sense of imagination and wonder! Hopefully, though, you lose it before you have kids; it's always troubling when children decide to have children. In fact, most adults choose to not have children. There's that dangerous sense of reality creeping in! Well, just ignore it. I'm sure your kid will be happy to not only have been gratuitously born, but to also have such an understanding, sympathetic, nuanced, complex, compelling, intelligent father.

The Bible has been universally bad for humanity. It's been taken as 100% facts for generations and you should know by now what a dangerous delusion that has always been. It's socio-political purpose was to unite the peoples of Europe. It failed that, but it did make them docile good soldiers ready and willing to do anything their divinely ordained leaders told them to do. You're an atheist? A lazy one.

I wanted to post something on the comment you made about the Bible but accidentally deleted it. Since I'm too lazy to type it again, he's a summary: your post betrays a lot of resent and a lack of thorough thinking. There is something wrong at pretty much every sentence. Hating the Bible is no excuse for not presenting a cogent argument.

Reread your post. Suggesting the Bible was always taken as 100% fact when it has been the subject of some of the most complex interpretative readings in history is plain misinformation. Fuck, the Bible came into proeminence as a result of a culture of elaborate commentary and interpretation. "Muh literal reading only" is purely an American thing (and it's way more retarded that a literal reading was in the Middle Age, considering the information available to the average person).

I remember that series of children animated stories about princes and princesses. There are like 13 of them. Nearly all drawing from old myth and traditional stories (you have Grimm tales, and Egyptian myths for instance). All centered around love/male-female relationship. And the main male and female protagonists were always drawn the same way and voiced by the same actors, so as to create a sense of continuity.

The last story is about a prince and a princess exchanging genders during a frog kissing malfunction. It was funny and smart and not really preachy. The whole series was awesome. I think it's simply called Princes and Princesses. Was released perhaps 6-8 years ago.

To strenghten your point, the religious law was seprate from the civil law (a bit like martial court is not the same thing as civil court now), and the religious law was the more lenient of the two.

Actually, there was a high proportion of thug-like type among clerks because being one meant you could claim to be under the responsability of religious law, which has softer punishment. That's why a lot of would-be criminal would pursue studies and become part of the clergy.

This explains, for instance, that Villon, primarily a man of letters, became involved with a gang of road thugs.

You want your children to be pedantic and deluded would-be undergrads abiding by the myth that their easily digestible dumbed down course material is anything like real research product. You want your children to be uncritical idiots who can't spot an error in a reasoning or come with their own solution to a new problem, but simply regurgitate whatever they've read before because they've been raised in an environnment of mindless information-consuming.

No. It's my opinion as that is yours.
It has done more harm to the world than good.
Anytime something positive happened in European history, it's attributed to Christianity because the people were Christians. "What if Christianity never took root?" I'd say, "Then we'd have surely all died out!" I'm assured by the Christian-Fedorists. (And Christian-Trilbyist)

None of you faceless-Fedorists even understand the damage theism does to person, so your "categorically untrue" is wrong in my eyes. You aren't Christians you say? Perhaps you could test yourself till you can see things a little more my way. An ex-christian.

I would agree with this, yet you said "The Bible has been universally bad for humanity" which is an absolute statement suggesting that the Bible has done no good. Which is untrue. Also why you keep assuming I'm a Christian when I wasn't even born into a Christian family is beyond me.
>Anytime something positive happened in European history, it's attributed to Christianity because the people were Christians.

I never had a eureka moment where I realized my religion was false. Why? Because I never had a religion and always knew there wasn't a God.

That doesn't mean I don't think a countless amount of people throughout history have been helped by religion. Hurt too, of course. But also helped. If that makes me a "faceless-Fedoraist", "Agnostic Apologist", or whatever weird moniker you want to throw at me next, then sure. I'm exactly that.

Not much, really. Been through these sorts of debates with a wall of anonymous trolls (and maybe the sincere) many time before, both as anonymous and named. If it was all a joke, 4/10, not even mad. I like expressing myself (Learning more) so what rating would you give that? Did I upset anyone? I think I did a little.
Sorry to the OP. Not what I was hoping for this thread. Maybe we'll leave the middle eastern cults out of our children's lit thread next time.

Butterface legitimately just spammed a thread to death to hide her utter fucking retardation. As a bonus she further revealed she pretty much only has knowledge of childrens picture books. This has been a great day.

I dispute your rather retarded judgment.

Kidnapped? Wodehouse? Dickens and
Watership Down? Not all kid lit have pictures.
But you know damn well, most of the greats do.

Ignore? Hardly. I just don't follow you around writing down every book you mention.

I have an opinion of the early books and comics from the 90s.

If this is truly all you see of my posts, than it must be because no one is posting about the nonfiction I have been reading.
Have you read Invisible Man yet? It really is Moby Dick level flawless classic.
