[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 915737, member: 7966"] Do you have any children Ovah? This sounds like someone that does not have or has not had children because children learn from what they see and observe ... not what their parents "teach" them. If the parents and their children are active in church or actively incorporate religion into their daily lives, they are just living their life. The children will be more influenced and taught by this daily living than they ever will by words. And at a more general level, it is the responsibility of the parents to "teach" their kids morality and responsibility along with many other things. Religion is one construct in which this can be done ... Secular Humanism may be a construct for atheists. Either is a way to pass onto the next generation the accumulated wisdom of human interrelations, socially acceptable behavior, a sense of responsibility and a system of morality. Parents that try to do this on their own will leave many gaps and many, many inconsistencies that tend to result in kids that try to compete in a society that they don't understand and have a hard time fitting in and understanding why their behavior is important. Why all the above? Religion makes this easier for parents who are smart enough to know they don't have all the answers. [/QUOTE]
