Pim,

Despite the quote bomb of truly Janice proportions, you still haven't
addressed my point. I'll put it succinctly.

Is telling a child what you honestly believe to be the truth (that there is
judgement and hell) abusive or is it not?

The woman in the n_th quote you gave said that telling children about hell
is an abuse of trust. Not so, IMO. It can only be an abuse of trust if you
deliberately lie to the child. (Like telling him that oral sex is a form of
holy communion).

Please respond to the point.

Iain
