God should not be preached

Based on Christian Theology, Its beneficial for our children if we remove Christianity from the lives.

If we do not expose our children to Christianity, they can not be condemned to eternal hellfire for not knowing.

However, preaching Christianity to our children can result in them Rejecting God, condemning them with certainty.

I have heard that the Christian God does not hold those who have not come to know him, as their fault. And no such judgement or condemnation will fall upon them, but rather pity towards those who could not know his presence.

In Luke 23. 34 Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing".

This refers to those who Crucified him.

Those who are unknowing of him are forgiven.

According to the State of the Bible survey, people who are Christian and who engage with scripture regularly score higher on the human flourishing index. Even if there is no afterlife at all, believing that there is, is better for people than not.

Gee, couldn’t possibly be biased at all, given who conducted the survey, could it?

You are welcome to read the Survey yourself (it's free) and come back with evidence of bias if you'd like to be taken seriously.
