Hi margin, i take it that the " demeaning " you are talking about are the points you have highlighted.

" until they have some idea of what is happening to them "

This is not demeaning, this is what i would want for my children, nothing to do with what other religious groups would want for theirs.

" Instead of leaving us wandering in the wilderness, not knowing which way to go "

Again how is this demeaning, i personally would feel that " i brought my children into this world so its my duty as a parent to guide them as best i can through it. I am sorry if these statements sound demeaning, they are not meant to be.
