>>Could it be that a person's religious beliefs are what makes them a good parent in your eye's because they are being taught core values of their religion. Take God out of school's and maybe, in some cases you damage the system. > >Then something's wrong with the system. If it can't function without involving religion, how is it different from a religious school? You seem to forget that, apart from "Could it be that a person's religious beliefs are what makes them a good parent" there can be good parents which have the same basic set of humanistic values without religion? The thing missing may be the desire to be subordinate, which then shouldn't be a necessary ingredient - I'd much more prefer being respected and paying respect, than being obeyed or obeying.
"Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice." -- Dave Barry
