I plan to teach my child about my religion. One VERY important part of ANY religion is to examine EVERY belief logically and as to whether the belief lines up with the basis of that religion. Each person must make a choice themselves which religious beliefs they plan to hold.
If my child decides to choose something other than what I believe then if they can provide a basis for their choice then I will be satisfied. If they know WHAT they believe and WHY they believe it is almost more important to me than if they believe the same way I do. In fact I would like to hope that as she discovers for herself things that she will share them with me and give me the chance to evolve my own beliefs. I ONLY don't want her to choose a belief because it's totally opposite mine or because it's completely like mine.
