How can this life be a fair test if it is so dependent on parents conditioning their children?

My children aren't leaving the church (and religion) because they "weren't far enough in." Their generation is leaving because THE CHURCH (and organized religion) HAS NOTHING TO OFFER THEM.

Do some research, lady. Maybe pick up that book by Jana Reiss.

-10 for "the adversary" (oooh no not the boogie man under the bed)

-10 for encouraging scrupulosity

The hell with it, I'm gonna go fold laundry. Do you know how bad a talk has to be for me to see laundry as the better alternative?

Children have to be told what and why they believe? How about a discussion of epistemology.

Dammit! For a split second I thought she was going to give a groundbreaking talk about the horrors of child abuse. Ummm...but no.

"What to do if someone offers you coffee or porn."

What kind of f*cked up religion sees coffee as the moral equivalent of SHOWING PORNOGRAPHY TO CHILDREN.

I’m more concerned about my kids not being racists homophobic mysogynistic bigots rather than if they have a glass of wine or not.

Drill instructors? This can't be what she's suggesting for good parenting. -50.

It sounds like this talk is going to put more pressure on DW, who is already wanting our 8 year old to be 'more in' with the church.

Sigh.

Hmmm forcing someone to do what you want? I don't think it was the Lord who suggested that plan.
