Explain how a religious upbringing can lead to, or support,belief in God?
March 10th, 2010 by smithmany on their death bed do, or when all is just too much to bear.
religion always has answers...you never have to wonder why....on anything..."god did it"
so when you learn you have cancer, or you lost your wife and your son in a car wreck...you may return to what you were taught as a child, just to cope
because in those cases (and others) you want to know why it happened
Don't think so.
Look in the real world.
It's religious up bringing that make it work in time.
God did it in such a way that each and every living human kind has to go through the process in having the gifts of life by having it hidden in the school so that no one will miss the gifts of life in time.
That was how children of survivors of "Star on 45" blindly learned and mastered it without being aware of it being expose in time.
Luke 9.25,55-56,60
Somehow with self lack of knowledge the gifts of life was blindly thrown away in time while the young one were blindly searching for it in time.
Luke 6.39-40,41-45,46-49
What do you think?
Not only when it comes to religion, but also when it comes to almost every other aspect there is.. Parents are the most important influence in most cases!
So of course the chances of a child becoming religious will increase greatly when its parents are, because they pass their beliefs on to the future generation. Most often they will try to teach their offspring about their god(s), about their rules, about their holy book, about their religious rituals.. And unless the kid starts thinking critically about it and denounces it later in life, it will most likely turn out to believe in the same thing as its parents believed in.
My Mum mwas bought up a white sth african & she truly & wrongly believes she is superior to black people.... what's her motivation to change?... none as she gets to feel better than them by the lies she was fed as a child...
Children & religion... a very dangerous mix....can cause lots of trouble...
I strongly believe that if a child is taught about God, although as he may in later years choose to rebel against what was taught growing up, I believe he will come back to God in the end.
Jesus taught a good example of that in the parable of the Prodigal Son.
The story is found in Luke 15:11-32. Jesus tells the story of a man who has two sons. The younger demands his share of his inheritance while his father is still living, and goes off to a distant country where he "waste[s] his substance with riotous living", and eventually has to take work as a swine herder (clearly a low point, as swine are not kosher in Judaism). There he comes to his senses, and decides to return home and throw himself on his father's mercy, thinking that even if his father does disown him, that being one of his servants is still far better than feeding pigs. But when he returns home, his father greets him with open arms, and hardly gives him a chance to express his repentance; he kills a fatted calf to celebrate his return. The older brother becomes jealous at the favored treatment of his faithless brother and upset at the lack of reward for his own faithfulness. But the father responds:
Son, thou art ever with me, and all that I have is thine. It was meet that we should make merry, and be glad: for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again; and was lost, and is found.

Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.
Proverbs 22:6
It sounds like: Explain how standing out in the rain causes you to get wet.
When I was younger I did not want a relationship with God b/c of my upbringing, but later on realized my life is empty without him and that I shouldn't shut him out because of others actions.
God Bless!
They may not choose him in the end. But I pray that they will--I really want to spend forever with them in a place better than this.
