As our community's resident Satanist, I guess I should feel obligated to chime in on this thread... however, I don't believe in Hell. I don't believe in heaven either. Teaching children is the responsibility of their parents, and who are we to judge? Cruelty is subjective. As a society, we have laws to protect our children from all kinds of abuse; but "spiritual" abuse? That's a tough one. Is teaching about Hell spiritual abuse? Depends on the teacher.

Interesting topic, though.
