I’ve likely alarmed you, and you are now asking, “What can I do to guarantee that my children (or my grandchildren) become real, born-again Christians?” ... most importantly of all, they must be raised on the Bible stories, not children’s Bible stories, but real adult Bible stories of law, sin, judgment, repentance, faith, heaven and hell. Reality. Don’t raise your children to live in a make-believe world—teach them TRUTH.... Instill a Biblical reality.

teach them TRUTH.... Instill a Biblical reality
Well, my children will have fun thinking they will live to be 300 years old +, etc.
"Don’t raise your children to live in a make-believe world
teach them TRUTH"
SO. DAMN. CLOSE!
"Instill a Biblical reality."
But so ridiculously far...
"Biblical Reality"
No such thing, bub.
"but real adult Bible stories"
Like incest.
"Don’t raise your children to live in a make-believe world
teach them TRUTH...."
YEAH!!
"Instill a Biblical reality."
WTF!
So you'll teach them rape, incest, slavery, genocide, and mutilation are alright as long as God says it's ok?
And they say atheists have no morals.
Fortunately, the great majority of civilized people would consider such treatment of children abusive. There is a high probability that your own, unfortunate, children will accidentally be exposed to enough logic that they will have a chance of recognizing reality.

I recommend installing the Borg Eyepiece at 2 months, even though it's recommended to wait till 4 months for health reasons. If your child is too weak to survive an operation for the Lord, he is not worthy.
Who the fuck made this guy and his wife the arbiters of good and bad parenting? This is like the 5th post from this guy in 2 days and they're making me sick.
Wanna bet in 15-20 years we'll all be watching a manhunt on CNN for a serial killer with the last name Pearl?
In other words, brainwash them from birth and make sure they never see or meet anyone who thinks for him or herself and especially not anyone who has ideas and acts upon them.
It would probably be best to lock them in a cellar until they're 25 and ready to be given in a fundie marriage and make more fundies.
"Biblical reality"
Oxymoron of the year.
You forgot genocide, slavery, child abuse, rape, murder, incest, human sacrifice, etc.
"Don’t raise your children to live in a make-believe world"
Yes, teach them the koran, because islam is the real religion.
“What can I do to guarantee that my children (or my grandchildren) become real, born-again Christians?”
Well, if you're looking for a sure-fire guarantee I would recommend a combined course of psychoactive medications from the hypnotics class, sleep deprivation, and ElectroConvulsive Therapy.

Yes, tell them how God chose Abel over Cain because he demands blood. Tell them how God took all of the oldest sons because there was no blood on the doorway. Tell them how if they ever stray they're heading straight to hell.
That will give you good well adjusted suicide bombers.
So, what do you want parents to do, then -- teach their children the truth, or instill a "Biblical" reality?
.............and get the opposite effect. Not that they don't understand it(which is a possibility), but either that they grow up being psychos, they abandon Christianity or worse, that they believe that snakes really speak.
"...they must be raised on the Bible stories, not children’s Bible stories, but real adult Bible stories of law, sin, judgment, repentance, faith, heaven and hell."
Interestingly, that's the same formula that made me an atheist.
real adult Bible stories of...hell.
Good luck with that. Really. You have what, three or four references, and most of them clearly metaphorical? And all of them mutually contradictory? Seriously, fundies, Dante's Inferno isn't in the Bible. (Just remember, fundies: almost the entirety of your concept of hell was invented by a Catholic !)
Teaching biblical reality (sic) as Truth is like eating 20 Big Macs a day while on a hunger strike.
Slightly contradictory, to put it mildly.

Well said. Word Of Dante is not Word Of God.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
