A child is not going to come by any knowledge on their own if left in a vacuum. It is necessary to "shove" certain things down "their throats." You probably didn't enjoy being disciplined for not touching a hot stove when you were little either, but I bet some good came of it, in the end.
It is, of course, important for people to be loving and charitable towards one another. And it is important to refrain from being judgmental, especially of the state of the souls of others. The world's worst criminal could have a final conversion experience that would allow him to enter Heaven. But it's also possible to love a person without loving all of their actions.
The important thing to consider in these things is, why don't you believe _____? These are questions than can be investigated, and your parents are not the only source of information on the planet~
