What do you expect of me, that I tell my children lies, that is things that I don't believe in?

I don't expect you to tell your children anything. I expect you to leave them to make their own decisions about your beliefs until they're mature enough to be able to make a personal choice about them.

I expect that for the same reasons I don't believe reasonable parents should force their children into any other activity that may not be appropriate for them, or which doesn't match their interests or aptitudes.

Do you really not understand the fundamental contradiction between being a flag-bearer for 'human rights', and denying kids catch-free no-pressure freedom of religious choice - not 'make them agree with me now and hope they follow later', but genuinely free?

What has your "revealed authority" stuff to do with anything I said?

Because you're acting on the basis of a moral authority which is somewhere between arbitrary and subject-to-change-without-notice-as-churches-evolve, and non-existent.

It's one thing to make moral points on the basis of humane morality. It's quite another to imply to kids that your (and their) morals are ultimately favoured by religion and/or god.

You must be aware how offensive your constant attempts to put things into my mouth are. Why are you doing it?

I'm not. You keep claiming that I - and everyone - is putting words into your mouth, but at least 90% of the time we're simply repeating your own words back to you.

You don't seem to have considered the consequences of your beliefs as they apply to the people around you.

Now that you are considering them, you appear not to like those consequences - which is something I quite understand, because I don't think they're reasonable.
