Have you come across an experience when you have said quite strongly, 'there is no such thing as a Christian/Hindu/Zeusian child'?

That's a great idea. Let's all go down to the park, find some unsuspecting hindu or muslim family having a picnic, and roundly inform them that their children are not hindu or muslim. That should raise consciousness, and improve society quite a bit.

Next loony idea, please !

Sadly, I have to agree with plumjam. This possibly qualifies as a miracle.

I suspect the idea is more to point out, when people talk about muslim/christian/etc children, that you cannot have insert-religion-here children because they don't understand and therefore cannot make a choice.

I seriously doubt anyone is advocating running into churces, screaming "DON'T YOU FOOLS KNOW???"

Exactly, thankyou. I cannot understand how anybody thought I was saying anything different.

I only suppose it was Plumjam affinity with straw and desire to avoid arguments that produced his latest cop out.

From the OP it was not at all certain what you were getting at. After all you did use the word "strongly" which implies an argumentative position.
