What im trying to say is, parents of all religions want there children to be that religion BECAUSE of the after life aspect of it.

I personaly believe that every person was made (by God) to yearn to know whats after this life, or maybe its the holy spirit, who am i to say?

But anyway, i think that chirstians sometimes need to instead of pressure there kids into accepting chirst (then its not from there heart aka they dont get saved) they need to preach, yes. But also they need to leave it up to the child and God for that desition to be made, not force it.

I can deffinatly see that a chirstian parent doesnt want to have there kid sent to hell, but it has to be a personal decition by the kid and christ wether they are to be saved or not.....

Does this make more sense?

Yes, Soccerman it does. Thank you!

I agree. The decision is between you and God. We are all given free will and if the child doesn't want to choose God then it's his/her decision...maybe one day they will come back to Him, you never know.
