Should minors who wish to leave their parents' religion be given legal protections?

[OSR stands with Israel]

No they shouldn’t

[OSR stands with Israel]

Anyone who says yes to this beyond the basic ones we have right now should never say they stand up for the values of immigrants ever again

[OSR stands with Israel]

Yes, they should. Religious indoctrination is child abuse.

Pls define what you think indoctrination is

indoctrination: the process of teaching someone to accept a set of beliefs uncritically.

religious indoctrination would mean the process of teaching someone to accept a set of religious beliefs uncritically

Forcing your kid to go to church against their wishes would fit this definition.

Parents  also force kids to eat vegetables even if they want to eat candy

Forcing religion on their child, which seems to be like 95% of "Christians" in this country. Idk how someone can think that's ok. I hope you learn one day to overcome your indoctrination.

Part of a job of a parents is to pass on their values to their kids

The difference is that vegetables are good for you.

So what you are saying is you think the government should be basically in charge of parenting and decide what is good or not for your child .

[OSR stands with Israel]

None.  They don’t need any more/less protections than kids with “normie” parents have.  The law treats kids equally regardless to their parents’ religion or lack thereof, as it should.  You admittedly disagree. 

Of course the law treats parents equally regardless of their religion. It does not, however, treat parents equally regardless of how they attempt to inflict that religion upon other autonomous individuals (children). Parents already can lose their kids to CPS if they are abusive, and we should broaden our definition of abuse to encompass things like circumcision and coerced speech. It's probably too early for this now, but within the next 50 years as religious belief continues to die out in our society, hopefully an emerging nonbeliever majority will take responsibility for the rights of children whose parents have sadly been subsumed into cults.

Honestly the fact you support such government intrusion into people’s lives means you really shouldn’t call your self a libertarian cause you are not .


The government deciding what is or what is not good for your kids , what values should be or not be taught to your kid is authoritarianism 101 and frankly communist so please stop 

[OSR stands with Israel]

Let’s make this clear , there are already legal protections for this . A parent cannot hurt their child , they cannot refuse to provide for them to try to make them go to their place of religious worship with them .


The most they can do is ground the child or spank them so yah

Dule really has let his hatred of religion absolutely shred his libertarianism

... what do you think communism is

Anyway Communism is just not an economic system , like many leftists claim it is. It yes is about destroying every traditional structure that exists in society from the economic system to religion to the family to make sure the state controls every aspect of your life .

In fact cultural revolutions that took place in the USSR and China were just as integral to the communist system as whatever economic system they had in place.
