Should satanists be allowed to have specialist creches for their children?

Considering 'satan' is the xtians view of one of the pagan gods, sure, why not? It's a phony religion like all the others, just an excuse to be 'evil' and a need to worship something better than themselves due to the servile nature of humans.\n\nso there! :)

Certainly not! It is the responsibility of parents to know where their children are and with whom. To deprive people of the ability to earn a living after conviction for ANY crime is not in the interest of justice or of society as a whole.\nThe way our laws are currently written, a 22 year old guy who loses his head over a perfectly willing and experienced 17 year old girl is catagorized right alongside the monsters who get their jollies with actual children. It would not be right.\nBesides which, any offender with the money could just go to a doctor and have it removed, or get it covered with another tattoo...and don't think there are not doctors right here in the States that would do it.

I've been wondering that too. If it was legal, I would do a controlled experiment with newborns, and having them grow up in a totally isolated home, away from the world and outside influences (including people)and and see if they feel the need for a higher being in their life, like if they naturally feel the presence of a God. Also to see if the child is naturally good or evil would be interesting (of course this depends on your definition of good and evil). Sure the fact that no human would ever have contact with them, ever, would really screw the kid up, but whatever.

Yes! I believe if parents want the reponsibilty of raising children that also includes knowing their where abouts at all times. If the parent is going to be neglectfull and sit in the house and watch tv and let their kids go outside and play by themselves and then someone grabs them and the kids get hurt or end of dead, i definitly believe that the parents should have the same punishment as the person who hurt their kid. Because if the parent would have been watching their own kid(s)- their kid(s) would be unharmed. Parents need to take care of your own kids and not allow a stranger to take care of them for you. If parents do their job, no one gets hurt or goes to jail, end of story!

They would need a place for babies to develop. It is not necessary whatsoever and would take too much money that could be put into use on somethingthat matters. It might be possible, but it'd be incredibly stupid.

Yeah go ahead and have a lot of psycho kids....\nlike if the world doesn't have enough oh and while you're at it tell your kids to join Osama Binladen

basically, yes.\n\nin many cases, it starts with parents brainwashing their kids.  (which should be illegal)...\n\nbut at some point, kids grow up and should learn to think for themselves, and take responsibility for their own ignorance and change it.

No .. I think parents should be able to offer a butt whoopen if they are stupid enough to do something like that. But parents should be making their children more aware of sexual preditors on the internet.

I think these monsters lost ANY "civil liberties" they may have ever had when they chose to violate a child.  What about the childrens' civil liberties?\n\nI'm sorry, I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.  Furthermore, they're almost never rehabilitated.  They do it again and again and again.

Yes, it'd be better if children were prevented from such events, because they may not truly understand the implications of sex, and fetishes, etc.\nst

I think that Kathryn is right in that if parents want their children to have a religious education, they should have that right in a private school.  After all, if it's okay to homeschool kids, why can't you have schools that teach the same values there?  It's not state supported, and the parents pay for the privelage.  Of course, it's harder on poor students, but I don't see too much way around that.\n\nPublic schools, however, should not be a place for teaching religion, unless perhaps as a neutral 'World Religions' class.  This is because we want to promote the idea that everyone has the right to their own personal beliefs.  Furthermore, if one specific religion is taught in a public school, the state is promoting that one over any other - not only through speach, but also with money.  By promoting one, it is essentially repressing the others, possibly even promoting prejudice towards the followers of that religion.  Schools should not repress religion - it should be okay to write a paper on a religion topic if you should so choose and have it treated as any other, for example - but neither should it be promoted.  \n\nNon-believing, i.e. atheism, is not neutral.  Choosing to definitively NOT believe in God is just as much a personal, unprovable belief as definitively choosing TO believe in God.  Teaching atheism is therefore also unacceptable.  Schools should try to avoid the topic entirely, and leave it to the private sphere.

I agree. To me they are even scarier than rapists and murderers. That might sound extreme, but anyone who has children can probably relate to that sick feeling in their stomach they get when thinking about what sick things pedophiles out there are doing to children.

I think they should be put with other prisoners. The pedophiles will get repeated first hand experience on what it's like for their victims. The child killers will get the same. The benefit for both being that it'll all be done free of charge by the other inmates.

Should children be allowed to help the pizza hut workers? \n\nOf course they should....it could be like a mini career day thing.\nPizza Hut could order some little bitty uniforms and have five year olds run the restaurant for a week.\n\n*wouldn't that be cool?

If children don't have rights such as the ones you listed, then parents can do with them what they please.  That means that a parent can abuse thier child or neglect thier child without fear of punishment.  This is how life used to be for children.  That is one of the reasons that children had a high mortality rate.\n\nOne minor correction, in the 8th line, I think portrayed against should be protected from.

No. Children should go to secular schools. Sunday school should be at the discretion of the parent. The state should favor not one religion over any other, and perhaps frown on religion itself if one of the parents is not religious.\n\nIn cases of divorce, the court should choose whoever the best parent is objectively, without preference to gender, religion, or any other discriminatory category.

Thats what relgion is about. Look at the history of abuse, torture, inquistions, stonings, sharia, burnings, abuse in kids homes, magdelen laundries (look it up under uk and ireland), gay abuse and sexisim.
