Is it wrong for me to tell my stepson that God hates him?

*laughing at Cleo's answer*

How about the fact that you're a jerk is probably causing most of his acting out? Telling someone that God or people Hate them, that's not being a parent that's being a bully. Maybe take a long look in the mirror and figure out why you behave so poorly and what you have against children that you feel the need to act like one. Maybe once you figure yourself you'll be able to grow up enough to try and take on a parenting role. In the mean time, leave the discipline up to his mother, even if you don't agree. Obviously you're not ready for that role.

Yes, it is wrong. If you believe your god is real, then how can you believe that you have the right to make such a judgment on his behalf? And if you don't think this god is real, how can you try to make a child believe that this god hates them?

You and your wife need to try something else - if you can't figure out what else to try, then you need some advice from some more successful parents, or maybe a counselor.

Yes! this is very wrong. God loves everyone! no matter how they act or behave. He loves everyone. He is only 13. Don't tell him this because it is a lie. If he feels like even God doesn't love him, what will he become? Instead, tell him that God loves him no matter what.

Please stop telling your step son this! Instead of hurting his feelings, why don't you try actually helping him out and finding out WHY he is acting out. Sit down with him and have a talk. Don't be stupid and hurt the kid. He's going to hate you for it. He's just thirteen. He must be really stressed out from all the things going on in his life. Give the boy a break.

Well, i hes just subdued and is staying in his room, then absplutely not. What you have said hs probabley affected him more than you think. He may believe that, which no matter what, is not true. You should not say something like that. I am a step-daughter, and my step mom or step dad must be very delicate on the way the handle things with me, or in my head i think 'who r u to tell me that. Youre not even my real parent' . And you dont want your step-son to think that of you. My suggestion is to sit down with him one on one, male to male, and talk to him about life in general. Like whats going to matter, what you expect out of him, and so on. Negative things like that will just lead him to depression and feeling bad about himself. You dont want to be the reason for him committing suiciide, do you?? Just a thought, hope he behaves. My brother went through the same types of things, and all my step dad did was have regular one on one talks with him about life in general. It was more like helping him out, not controling him to do what he wanted

Yes by saying God hates him you are insulting God by taking his position and GOd doesn't hate his children as HE has said. You child may now think that since even GOd doesn't love him, his creator, why shall he live committing suicide, depression, or a massive rage within him

Heck yes it's wrong! You should never say that! Your blocking his religious wants and needs also. God loves everyone, and that I so wrong to say that. You need to go to church more, cause that's the most selfish and horrible thing I've ever heard.

Yes! That is wrong on so many levels I don't know what to say! Find someone else to bully. That's not discipline it's abuse!

Grow up, your bullying your child. God does not hate anybody & you shouldn't be telling your child anybody hates him. What kind of parent does that shi* ??

Is it true?

Quote me chapter and verse from the Bible.

All you are doing is destroying your credibility.
