"I am an atheist and intend to raise my children to think critically and understand science."
Sounds like indoctrination.

If that sounds like indoctrination to you, then you probably just don't understand the meaning of the phrase "think critically". Or the word "science".
Or the word "indoctrination".
They are taught this though.
Fundamentalist churches are unashamedly against Science and scare their flocks by proclaiming it has an anti-God agenda.
It's not indoctrination, it's inoculation.
LOVE through INTELLECT? You probably wouldn't recognize intellect even if it danced naked in front of you.
'Tis a good thing that Becky Fischer's 'Jesus Camp' ceased to exist after the documentary film was released. Would've been a bugger for you , then.
...but it's not for the want of trying that you lot continue what she did. One word 'Hoemskuling'
Can you say 'Madrassas', LIESthroughILLITERACY? I know you can.
"I am a Christian and I intend to raise my kids to believe that there is a magical sky tyrant who will torture them horribly forever if they question him and don't submit their every thought, whim and action to him and his Bronze Age edicts."
^Not indoctrination. Honestly.
Sweet virginal adulterer! My irony meter just went nuclear ! It blew up my entire house AND somehow still left my computer intact enough to allow me to reply! I'd venture a guess that this whimses past the domains of irony, but since the explosion, I cannot say with certainty anymore. All I can say, dear sir/madam, is that you are one silly, silly person!
P.S.: Can someone send help? I am covered in burns, and I'm fairly certain my lower half was vaporized in the explosion. I may require medical assistance. Also, it hurts quite badly. Ouch.
I don't see how. I've tried saying it in different accents, at different speeds. I've tried slurring it, mumbling it, shouting it and whispering it and I can't get it to sound anything like "Indoctrination".
I am guilty of indoctrination of my daughter with love for deep space & far stars. Because I know this kind of indoctrination id a shield against a certain kind of religious thought.
So non, I don't think the OP is a WTF. I'm assuming my manoeuvers to counter the teachings of her fundie mother.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
