diddyman68 Posted August 24, 2020 #276 Share Posted August 24, 2020 Ive never been into any religion,i also don't put all my faith in science , If you believe in god fine,if not ,also fine. I'm undecided so im not gonna try to debunk god,just to be on the safe side. I can see both sides, As for praying for answers or a sign or for things to get better,i think an optomist will see a sign in something that may not be there,but they will believe it's a sign and their faith will strengthen. A pessimist will not see a sign,and they will probably have worse luck,and so will stop believing or deny god exists. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Punishment and reward" is a philosophy for horses and house pets. Not humans. lol Actually it is extremely effective with humans also, it would be nice if it was not required, but it usually is .If we didn't need it we wouldn't need laws, and fines or punishments for breaking laws Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I let the kids know the let me down. I make them fix what they break or pay for it. I show no anger, just disappointment. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or they might become pessimistic towards god/religion as a result of not seeing signs nor having prayers answered. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However you have rules for the kids, and consequences for breaking the rules. You might not see these as punishments, but established positive and negative consequences are rewards and punishments for correct/incorrect behaviour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
