[QUOTE="Jones, post: 915738, member: 4805"] As I recall Ovah does indeed have children. I don't but I'll point out that teaching kids right from wrong has no relation to teaching them to believe in the supernatural. It is possible to teach children that murder, stealing, etc, is immoral and wrong without also teaching them that if they don't accept JC as their personal lord and savior that they will burn in hell for eternity. Religion makes it easier not because religious parents are smarter, but because it's easier to answer a child's questions about right and wrong with "Because god says so" instead of taking the time to give a real answer (and I'm not saying that all religious parents do this, but I've certainly seen it done). Religion is not a precursor to morality. Good parents are good parents regardless of their religious beliefs or lack thereof. [/QUOTE]
