My response to the indoctrination argument is that because I believe that
Jesus is Lord and is the only salvation and to not believe has eternal
consequences, to not tell my children that would be an eternal child abuse.
Children want to choose to not eat veges, not go to school to drive drunk
and crash, yet we indoctrinate them to choose these things (at least we try)
so why not eternal salvation?

If you don't make a conscious effort to pass these beliefs to your children
do you really believe they are true?
