Forcing Religion on Children

Everyone has the right to personal autonomy, which includes the freedom to make decisions about one’s own life and beliefs. Children, as they develop should have the opportunity to form their own beliefs based on a balanced understanding of various worldviews. Forcing a particular religion on young children circumvents this process, compromising their ability to decide for themselves later in life.

Imposing religion on children often involves presenting one set of beliefs as absolutely true while dismissing or neglecting other viewpoints. This can inhibit the development of critical thinking skills, as children are discouraged from questioning, analyzing, or evaluating different beliefs critically. Instead they are taught that doing so is wrong and a sign of weakness or inability to trust in faith. This cuts them off from listening to the rational questions coming from within the untainted common sense they were born with

Being compelled to adhere to a specific religious doctrine can lead to internal conflict, especially if a child later questions or disagrees with the beliefs. This dissonance can cause significant psychological distress, contributing to anxiety, depression, and a sense of isolation. Additionally, the fear of punishment or ostracization for doubting or rejecting familial or community beliefs can exacerbate these feelings.

Mandatory adherence to a specific religion can also isolate children from broader social and cultural experiences with other children from different backgrounds. This isolation can hinder their understanding and appreciation of a diverse society, potentially leading to intolerance or misunderstanding of people with different beliefs instead of permitting their natural curiosity to help them develop their own views.

When children are taught to accept religious beliefs uncritically, their development of an inner moral compass can become reliant upon religious doctrine rather than a personal understanding of ethics and morality learned through their own experiences. This could limit their ability to make ethical decisions on their own, where they feel compelled to refer to scripture for answers they can’t find within themselves.  This underscores the reason that many believe morality comes from scripture, instead of from within. Humans are social animals and instinctually know to try not to hurt others. That’s all anyone needs to know to tell the difference between right and wrong.

Teaching respect for diversity, including religious diversity, is crucial in a pluralistic society. When children are indoctrinated into a single way of thinking, it can foster an attitude of superiority or disdain towards those who do not share the same beliefs. This attitude undermines societal cohesion and mutual respect among individuals of different backgrounds.

While parents naturally want to pass their values to their children, it is important to respect every child’s right to form their own understandings about the world they were born into. Encouraging exploration, discussion, and a broad education about various beliefs can better prepare children to make informed decisions not only about religion but when they get older, many aspects of their lives as well. The problem is, when you see religion from this wider view of all the different faiths, it becomes rather evident that there is no such thing as the “one true religion.”

Children are not chattel or the personal property of their parents or the societies they were born into. They are humanity’s future and an incredible opportunity and responsibility for all of us to protect and nurture. Within them lies the seeds for a better world and our hope in the future. They are the best of us but can easily be turned into the exact opposite if we fail them. It is their job to become something better than we became and our job to make sure they have the freedom to do so.

Demanding Celibacy

One of the most beautiful and fulfilling parts of being human is all the wonderful ways we can enjoy sex. That’s who we are and what nature intended. Sex makes the world go around and plays a crucial role in many aspects of our behavior. But as religion was growing within early societies, someone came up with a crazy idea of how to expand religion’s power over the masses.

At some point, stories began to surface about the gods’ displeasure with mortals enjoying sex. Coincidentally, the same temple priests who were telling these stories also came up with ideas that making additional offerings would appease the gods who in return would forgive bad sexual behavior. Later, these ideas evolved into concepts of sin with temples and churches enjoying a new status of saving sinners from sex.

As offerings increased in communities where people started seeing themselves as morally corrupted by the evils of sexual desires, the church was pleased. Sex had been made ugly, perverse, and sinful and the ability to enjoy it freely without shame and guilt slowly faded away.

Impressed by its success, religion embarked upon a campaign to institute a total ban against human sexuality. Straight sex, gay sex, fringe sex, and everything in between was forbidden as the wide diversity of what was once considered socially acceptable was narrowed to the single act of procreation within a church-sanctioned marriage. Temple prostitutes, who had long been a welcome part of religious life, were suddenly banned from church property. Scribes quickly wrote god’s new words forbidding sex into scripture and the freedom to share one of the most beautiful human experiences with others was stolen from humanity.

Today, it is an established medical fact that celibacy or abstaining from sex is unnatural behavior that not only reduces lifespan, but also negatively impacts our quality of life. Recent studies have identified wide ranging health benefits associated with frequent masturbation and sharing sex with others that have huge physical and psychological benefits when we respond to nature’s call to experience organisms rather than repress the natural beauty of sex.

1. Reduction in Prostate Cancer Risk and Mortality Rates

• A study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association found that high ejaculation frequency, which includes masturbation, was linked to a lower risk of prostate cancer. This study suggests a protective effect of frequent ejaculation on men’s health[14].
• The Caerphilly Cohort Study reported that men with a high frequency of orgasm had a 50% lower mortality risk compared to those with a low frequency. This study suggests that sexual activity, including masturbation, has a protective effect on health[11].

1. Improvement in Mental and Physical Health

• Research from the Cleveland Clinic indicates that masturbation can reduce stress, improve sleep, and ease pain. It also mentions that masturbation is a normal part of sexual development and is associated with various health benefits[8].
• A study from Modern Intimacy highlighted that masturbation leads to the release of dopamine, endorphins, and oxytocin, which can lower cortisol levels, boost self-confidence, and improve sexual satisfaction[7].

1. Sexual Satisfaction and Relationship Benefits

• A systematic review published in Healthcare explored the relationship between solitary masturbation and sexual satisfaction. It found that while the results vary, there is evidence suggesting that masturbation can complement sexual relationships, enhancing sexual health and satisfaction[10].

1. Longevity and Enjoyment of Life

• The Sexual Activity and Enjoyment of Life in Older Adults study found that older adults who were sexually active, including those who masturbated, reported greater enjoyment of life. This study suggests that sexual activity is linked to a better quality of life in older age[15].

1. Cardiovascular Health and Reduced Mortality

• The Trends in Sexual Activity and Associations With All-Cause and Cause-Specific Mortality study noted that sexual activity, including masturbation, was somewhat protective against early mortality risk, particularly in married females[18].

These studies collectively suggest that masturbation and other forms of sexual activity can have significant health benefits, including mental health improvements, enhanced sexual satisfaction, reduced risk of certain cancers, and increased longevity.

Religion-induced anti-sex psychological trauma that forces us out of natural harmony with sex, especially during childhood, remains unaddressed by the religious institutions responsible for untold damage to the human race by stealing the beauty of sex from us all.

Fantasy Gods Know Nothing About Sex Or Basic Human Biology

For an all-knowing deity who is supposed to have created the universe, fantasy gods show an incredible lack of knowledge when it comes to sex.

In 1966, the Catholic Church under Pope Paul VI decreed that eating meat on Fridays was no longer a sin. The day before the decree, eating meat on Friday could have sent you to hell assuming such nonsense was true. The LGBTQIA+ community and everyone else is waiting for the church to wake up and declare that shame and guilt are not legitimate parts of sex, anymore than marriage should define or limit the naturally diverse manifestation of human sexuality.

The core problem with religion and God’s church is they both show an incredible level of ignorance when it comes to human biology, genetic individuality, sexual identity and orientation. What should one expect from institutions preaching a level of ignorance written into scripture when everyone thought the Earth was flat. The last place anyone should want to learn about sex is inside a church, mosque or temple.

Contrary to the church, everyone is not supposed to experience sex in the same way or within narrowly defined views of male or female behavior. Normal sexuality is expressed as everything in between, with no one being 100% male or female; or 100% gay or straight. We all fall somewhere in between. While it is true most find themselves primarily attracted towards the opposite sex, there are many whose social experience is not warm feelings of acceptance but hateful rejection as they are forced to go through life wondering, “What’s wrong with me?”

Regardless of where anyone falls on today’s social acceptability scale, everyone needs to remember this: Gender and sex, in their unique individual diversity, has always expressed itself through a wide range of attractions and behaviors that everyone should be free to enjoy, during all stages of their development, in their own unique ways, whether married or not as long as doing so doesn’t harm anyone. Everyone has a right to feel good about who they are and no one has the right to try and take that away. Despite the sensationalized negative portrayal of sex in the news, sex is an overwhelmingly positive experience that everyone should feel free to enjoy without feelings of shame, guilt or regret.

“Normal” Children Are Not Sexual???

That applies to everyone under 18 as well as everyone else in spite of absurd notions that sex should be reserved for “adults only.” Despite myths that sex is psychologically harmful to children, being free to explore their emerging sexuality is an essential part of childhood development. Current attempts to force children to repress their sexuality so they can be saved from the sin of sex enshrined into law under the false flag of protecting children from sexual abuse, has done more damage to families and children’s mental health at a societal level than the church would want anyone to know.

While common sense says there are developmental stages everyone should go through before engaging in adult level sex, that doesn’t mean entire generations of children should be denied normal opportunities to play doctor or experiment with sex and enjoy it at their level without worrying the police will arrest them if someone tells. Don’t laugh. It happens.

One of the most horrific forms of child abuse that can emotionally scar a child for life, is getting caught enjoying sex. Something that couldn’t be more natural, psychologically healthy, and beneficial to a child’s normal development. Shame on the adults for forgetting the serious trauma they suffered from parents and others during their own childhoods. Shame on them for continuing the cycle of abuse by blindly doing to their children what was done to them when they were children. Click HERE (American Academy of Pediatrics)

Though most survive childhood without too many visible scars, it’s the deep emotional scars we can’t see that tend to linger. Church bells and calls to prayer remind us that we are all sinners with dirty minds and impure thoughts. Would or could any of us stop being sexual even if we wanted to? Not if you care about living a long happy life.

Others were not so lucky and didn’t survive their parent’s insanity or the ignorance of the societies they were born into. The unimaginable horror of children commiting suicide within sexually repressed societies shows the incredible levels of stupidity the human animal is capable of. Society’s message that “only bad children behave sexually” turns all children into bad children and forces them to hide the sinful parts of who they are. The problem is there’s no such thing as sin according to verses written into the more authoritative “Book of Reality” that was once filled with wonderful pictures of naked humans freely enjoying sex with broad smiles on their faces before such pictures were made perverse, immoral and even illegal.

Though we have all been harmed by religion’s commendation of sex, no one has suffered more than LGBTQIA+ kids. They have suffered the pain of rejection and hate by those whose rational minds were brainwashed with religious voodoo that claims everyone is supposed to be the same and experience sex in the same way because anyone who doesn’t is bound for hell.

It’s bad enough having to clean up after all the sexual abuse perpetrated within the church against children without compounding the damage by forcing entire generations of children and young adults into celibacy. Or worse yet, suicide for those who lost sight of the uniquely wonderful person looking back at them in the mirror because religion took that away and turned it into something ugly, perverse, and sinful. How preachers preach this stuff and sleep at night is beyond me. Surely, even fantasy gods couldn’t be that dumb. For More Info: Click Here

It could take decades to clean up the mess of countless sexually repressed societies where almost no one can freely enjoy sex the way nature intended. It will take time to heal the deep emotional scars we all acquired during vaguely remembered childhoods. Distant memories of our struggles to find ways to have fun with sex within societies that condemned us for doing so. Of all the damage religious dogma has done to humanity on a global scale, the church’s anti-human stance against sex ranks way up there near the top.

BOTTOM LINE – If you want to be healthy and live a long happy life, experience organisms at least three times a week. It’s religion that is ugly and perverse — not you and your amazing sexuality.
