Why do people use peer pressure to create faith?

Your certainly do not. My only friend in that neighborhood was a Christian boy, and were still like best friends today. In fact, he is the other teen doing my project polar bear with me...

It's a long story, but when I turned 18, I decided to stop going to their church, I lost friends and so many adults who were there when I was younger completely turned their back on me. I'm not sure why they are that way, they're the only ones I've seen act like that tho really. I mean the Catholics don't get up in arms when I don't go to church :24:

Hello guys.. In my opinion some times if we need to teach right things to our kids.. we need to do it forcibly... otherwise they may go wrong way in their lives.

Forcibly? As a religious person you of all people should know religion can't be forced down people's throats. You can give your kids the benefit of your knowledge in a diplomatic way but forcibly? A poor choice of word IMO. Besides there is no guarantee that any brain washing will work into adulthood.

I'd consider forcing religion on your children as a form of child abuse. You can try to educate them on your religion to convince them, but forcing them is going overboard.
