>>>I think I need to work on my grammer skills when typing fast. I meant to type "You questioned a religious person about parenting" I was pointing out to you that you asked a religious person their view on parenting and the advantage of being a parent who has a belief in God. I gave you my answer. At no time did I say you are a bad parent for being non-religious. I do not even know you or your family, so why would I say that. You asked me if there is an advantage to being a
God-fearing parent. I indicated yes. If you choose not to believe in anything remotely religious, then that is your choice. I can only tell you what I believe.

>>Why do you fear your God! It indicates that you are driven by negative ideas. Oh, never mind... we'll probably never agree.

>"God-fearing" is a phrase that has deeper meaning than the way you interpret it. Yes we'll probably never agree, but that does not mean we cannot have interesting discussions. Thanks for the back and forths.
Okay, let's discuss it a little bit further then. :)
As I see it, there is a difference of doing what your father says, either because you fear him, or because you respect him. Fear is not the same as respect.
