[QUOTE="seeker3k, post: 188164, member: 6459"] SSA I don’t think we can loose our kids to science. In fact we can make them good citizen by encouraging our kids to learn science. Just a small experience I wish to share with any one who wants to read. I have many good friends here in Canada they are from many religions. One day one of my friends called me to fix his washing machine. I went and fixed it. After that we sat and his wife brought tea for us. The talk turns to kid’s education. He asked me about my 2 kids. They were about same as his 2kids. I said after primary school now they are in Catholic school. He asked me why put them in Catholic school? I said their school took kids those were age to leave to middle school. My daughter also went with group to see school and met teachers and principal of the school. After she went to few schools she chose the Catholic school. She like the principal and teachers. Plus it was close to home they can walk to school. My friend said we are Sikhs we should not put them our kids in Catholic school. They may become Catholic. Going back a bit When kids were small we use to take them to gurdwara, mander, and church.. Muslim do not allow none muslim to join in namaz so we could not go there. I had many books on most religion. We use to discuss religion and spirituality most every day. My daughter was very curious about religion. Son was not into it. Getting back to the topic. Friend said but in Catholic they push religion they can influence kids to be come Catholic. I said I have no problem if they want to become Catholic. There is only one God what is the difference if the have different name. He said it will be the biggest mistake if my kids become Catholic. I said let me ask you some thing. Ask he said. You are Sikh and as I know your father is also Sikh. Yes he said. What about you’re grand father and his father were they Sikh too? He said my grand father was Sikh too but not sure about great grand father. So they maybe Hindu before that. He said I think so. So then he made his biggest mistake to become Sikh. He said no,no he did not made the mistake. He did the right thing. Well then how can you say your kids will make biggest mistake if they change? They are making right decision to change from Sikhism. My friend had time explaining what he got into. When we teach kids science they can knowledge about reality. They will be prepared for any one trying to miss guides them. Learning science is good thing to learn. Science is based on facts not on dream. I gave them enough education that they can make right decision what ever they will chose. Both of my kids are not into religion ( I am glad for that). They are good human. We lived in bad part of city where kids used drugs. My kids grew up with them but my kids never used any kind of drugs. They don’t even drink tea and coffee. It is not the company one keep that get them in to bad things. It is how they have been raised. I am not taking any credit for that I just did what every parent want to do for their kids. I always told them learn and investigate before you get into any thing. Things are not what they seem from distant. So let kids learn and let them make the right decision. If one has not taught their kids to the age of 9 then there is no help to remold them.
