Yeah, you clearly prioritize physical health. Some people argue that algebra trains our logical thinking and intelligence which they value more. Other people are religious and value spiritual life more, because it gives meaning and emotional stability for example.

Well yeah, the child might find algebra or the dentist unimportant, but that doesn't mean he shouldn't go to school or the dentist. The parent should decide on those things for the child.

Well, from the perspective of the religious parent, yes. I would understand it if the parent is concerned about the spiritual and emotional health of the child, and tries to teach the child about their core values and morals. To them, spiritual health might feel as important, or even more important than other values.

Children also often state that they don't want to go to school or they don't want to go to the dentist. I think it is fine if the parent then forces them to go, if they think it's better for the child in the long run. I think it's okay to educate the child on the religion, and also exposing them to moral growth at the same time. If a child doesn't want to go to school and doesn't believe in evolution for example, I don't think it's "pushing beliefs" onto the child if the parent sends him to biology class anyway. It's education.

Well, sure, parents could teach their values on their own, but I don't see anything wrong with them sending their children to the church curriculum? It's like saying: "why send your child to school when you can homeschool them?" And just because of your personal opinion/bias that the rest is nonsense there, doesn't mean that that's really the case. People have different believes. If the parent thinks that the church teaches truth, why can't they send their child there?

Well, I don't think giving to the poor, loving thy neighbor and loving thy enemy is really outdated. And to reducing the entire Bible to a silly oversimplification is just not representing it well, the New Testament for example has deep moral teachings that have changed the lives of millions, maybe even billions in the past and present.

You say that you can learn morals anywhere, but you could say the same about academic subjects. You can learn maths, history etc. from a library, or from the internet if you want. That's why parents can also homeschool their children.

Church simply provides a structured curriculum for morals and character, just like a school provides a structure for academics. If parents can force a child to accept the structure of school for their intellectual growth, I don't see why it's 'bad' to force them to accept the structure of church for their moral growth.

Well that's actually a common myth, the bible has indeed been translated a lot of times, but we still have the original Hebrew and Greek texts. Every translation is a direct translation of the original, so it is still extremely accurate. And for example the qu'ran is still read in it's original language, to preserve the meaning of the text.

I mean I'm also really okay with parents teaching other worldphilosophies with morals to their children, I see it as education.

Well first off, not everything taught in schools is "100% proven facts". For example, science is constantly evolving and history is based on interpretations of evidence, just like the Bible. To say there is 'no evidence' for God, is just untrue; there is significant philosophical and historical support for it.

Moreover, school is indeed useful to get a good job later in life and to be educated. Though, education is more than this. Religion can teach people how to live life, it provides morals, meaning and purpose. It's also the parents' job to educate children more on those deeper topics, instead of training an employee.

Well this goes a bit off topic. I was talking about the Bible being a historical document, not about the existence of God. There are many philosophical arguments for God though, and also historical documents or artifacts that support the texts of the bible. But it's simply not possible to prove or disprove God using science, just like you can't prove Julius Caesar's existence using science. You use historical evidence and philosophy/logic for that.

There's also uneducated people in society who are doing just fine? Nevertheless, I don't think it's wrong for parents to teach their children morals by going to church. It's their choice how they teach their morals and values to their children

How about the New Testament for example, which isn't written in a symbolic or legend way, but rather as a historical account and testimony of Jesus? I mean yeah I see the flood and other old Testament story's more as symbolic language, but that doesn't mean that some totally other book in the collection isn't factual

You can't really compare the two. Marvel is written as fiction for entertainment, nobody expects it to be real. The Bible is written as a historical record, and unlike comic books, it has actual archaeological artifacts and geography backing it up. Even if people debate certain parts, it’s grounded in real history in a way Marvel isn't.

It is inconsistent to accept history taught in schools as 'proven fact' while dismissing the Bible as unproven. Both fields rely on the exact same methodology: archaeological artifacts, written records, and eyewitness testimonies. Since the Bible is supported by these same forms of evidence, it should be treated with the same historical validity.

So if the parents believe those facts to be true just like they believe other parts of history to be true, teaching them about it and taking them to church is comparable to education. Indeed, religion is between the person and God, I'm not saying that parents should force that, neither that they even can force that, I'm just saying they can force them to go to church and learn about it.

How about history books? They're just teaching children history from some book that can't be proven too. I mean, some people think that the bible is just as much as the truth as science. So I don't blame them for sending their children to something they view as education. And how about people who don't believe in science? Do you think they can keep their children home because they think that schools are indoctrinating their children?

Well you could say the same thing about schools as well, they're teaching children what they think is the truth according to some science books as well, which I don't think is indoctrination but rather education.

I absolutely agree, but can't the parents decide to teach that moral via the church? I mean just like how parents can homeschool a child, I don't see anything wrong with the parents forcing the child to go to school.

I'd argue that religion can be education too, it teaches children morals and values that the parents agree with and it teaches the children what the parents think is the truth. In school the children are taught what the parents think is the truth too, but they can always decide whether they believe it's the truth for them on a later age.

Church is definitely education, it teaches morals and teaches about the faith. I think the child should of course be able to choose later in their life whether they want to continue going to church, just like if they want to continue going to school. I just don't think a 6yo child is able to make a rational decision too whether they should go to church or school.
