Religious children are taught to be well behaved. They are punished for doing the opposite.

Sometimes these punishments can make them psychopaths. A large number of the serial murderers and rapists in the United States hail from ultra-religious families. Ever heard of Robert Hansen? He was a serial killer from  Anchorage, Alaska. He killed more than 30 women, after raping them. He was from ultra-religious background. There are other examples as well.... such as Christian Longo, Gary Ridgway, Pedro Alonzo Lopez, and John Floyd Thomas Jr.

The study also found that "religiosity affects children's punitive tendencies". Children from religious households "frequently appear to be more judgmental of others' actions", it said.

Religious children are taught to be well behaved. They are punished for doing the opposite. They are more conscious of their own and also others' action, hence "more judgmental". The study examines religious kids in response to bad behaviour, but have they repeated the test with video showing good behaviour? I believe religious children has a higher expectation of other children's behaviour. When others do not meet their expectations, estrangement and hostility develops.

I noticed this when i was young. But not all kids off course. But the meaner are the religious adult guys.

They always judge you in the outside, like when you have earrings or tattoos.

"Science is a discussion, Religion is a sermon"

But let us not judge them either. We and them have own reasons why we say such.

I noticed this as well but not all kids were this way

Some were somewhat skeptical about how they were raised some don't know any better but that doesn't mean they can change how they preceive the world in their eyes

Makes sense. They have an innate feeling of superiority over those heathens.

And parents that don't beat their property once in a while, are opening their property up for beatings in the school of hard knocks of life, later.
Instead of using defenceless children as punch bags as outlet for your latent aggression. Why not encourge them to take up physical sports to increase their self-defense, such as Judo.
Funny old Christians. Always finding a way to justify your violence.  Roll Eyes



This is why I can't truly get along with people like that, it's hypocrisy of the finest order, they preach peace and love and then go around hitting their own children claiming it's good for them, of course, children everywhere are seeing through the hypocrisy because they can always sniff it out at an early age.

I actually remember seeing a good video about an Imam who was talking about a son being arrested for selling Marijuana. Apparently one of the dad's had a son who did it and their son said "Well why is it okay for you to sell alchohol?" even the Imam was saying how hypocritical this was and that they should be setting a better example, first time I'd actually seen someone religious properly redeem themselves slightly.

Well, the kid has a point about marijuana. From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_men_are_created_equal:
Quote
The quotation "All men are created equal" has been called an "immortal declaration," and "perhaps [the] single phrase" of the American Revolutionary period with the greatest "continuing importance." Thomas Jefferson first used the phrase in the U.S. Declaration of Independence, which he penned in 1776 during the beginning of the American Revolution. It was thereafter quoted and incorporated into speeches by a wide array of substantial figures in American political and social life in the United States. The final form of the phrase was stylized by Benjamin Franklin.

...

Jefferson had written, "We hold these truths to be sacred and un-deniable..." Franklin changed it to, "We hold these truths to be self-evident."

So why is it that some people are created more equal in their ability to allow and dis-allow others in their actions? For the same reason that kids are property. They can't fend for themselves in the real world.

Some kids can and do fend for themselves by age 14. Age 18 is simply a standard age that kids are thought to be adults by. Before that age, they are property of their parents or others.

If you are of the family of government, government can keep all its "kids" as property no matter their age. Stop being a citizen, so that you can be an adult, no longer property of your government. Rather, be a man or a woman. After all, what "greaterness" are government people than you that they have the right to order you around?

All religions are equally silly from a dogma standpoint. Only 2 however are responsible for most of the carnage, genocide, and ethnic cleansing. That is 100% verifiable historical fact. Everything else is relativist pap.

I agree that two religions are responsible for almost 99.99% of the religious violence committed in the past 1,000 years or so. The result? These two religions have adherents from two-thirds of the world population now. Religions grow using violence, genocide and ethnocide. Those religions, which don't employ these tactics will find themselves sidelined.

They are atheism and agnosticism, of course.    Wink

Just kidding. Atheists and agnostics aren't smart enough to be able to put a war together, or to fight one, or to protect themselves from one.

Do your kids a favor. Make them to be real Christians.
Care to explain how deceiving kids into turning their backs on God and start worshipping man, is doing them a favor?


Adding to that, every fucking time particularly religious parents go around hitting their kids they're basically teaching children that it's okay to teach people bullshit as long as you can back it up with violence and unfortunately that's how our societies have operated for thousands of years, I'm not at all surprised by this study.

And parents that don't beat their property once in a while, are opening their property up for beatings in the school of hard knocks of life, later.

Moral parents, who beat their property in love and guidance, only when necessary, are giving their property a gift of correction that will help them (the property) throughout life. The prisons are full of former kids that weren't lovingly beaten as children by their owners in the years of their childhood.

Yea, and many children now are like little demons or puppets that retarded adults use to get away with crime or spread their propaganda.  Many adults themselves are little more than children as far as their intelligence, morals, and reasoning ability goes.  It's a result of life being too easy, survival of the fittest is removed and we've had what is essentially genetic trash populating the earth for some time.  How about a study showing the effects of children being used by these so-called parents, evil adults, that use their children like tools when they're not busy leeching off them emotionally.

Well, the Christian kids were nicer to start with. Then they got picked on by the non-Christian kids. God gave the Christian kids the smarts to thwart the meanness of the non-Christian kids, as a protection. Kids are kids. Christian kids are still kids. They often use their God-given extra smarts to carry their meanness further than is necessary to protect themselves from the non-Christian kids. Once they beat up a few non-Christian kids, the non-Christian kids want to find out where they get their strength, and the Christian kids convert them.

Are you non-Christian? Do you have kids you love? Teach your kids to be Christian so that they get extra smarts from God. They'll get picked on, of course, by other non-Christian kids. But their smarts will help them to be able to beat the non-Christian kids just like other Christian kids do.

Do your kids a favor. Make them to be real Christians.

Not surprising. Teach kids to be irrational and believe in a judgmental god and that's what happens. They behave that way with others. Teach them to understand others and things around them and they turn out alright. And morals don't need religion. Or a belief in god. People can recognize what morals make sense because they improve their life. Not because they fear punishment from god.

It's not either or.

Christians reading the bible know that you are to accept your fellow men and women as children of God. We may not agree with the sins we see being committed, but to be mean to someone because of some perceived wrong doing is completely hypocritical and not Christian. Sadly there are many wolves in sheep's clothing who call themselves Christian and defame the name.

Children tend to imbibe values taught to them by their parents and elders.
Religion, I believe, is incidental.
