I do think this is a sick, twisted point of view, & I'm not surprised we see sick, twisted behavior by some who hold such views.
What part of one reaching an age of accountability do you seem to think is sick and twisted? This is also the law of man. Raising children can be very similiar to Russion Roulette anyway. There is only so much you can do and teach your children no matter what religion or nonreligion you believe.I know plenty of good parents who end up with children way less than desirable. But then, I also know plenty of parents who didn't spend any time or put out any effort on raising their children, and those kids turn out to be wonderful productive members of their communities. Do you have children, and if so, how old are they? My children are 31, 30, & 26, and all three are boys. I have always stressed two things to my children their whole life. Those are that I will always love them no matter what. Doesn't mean that I have to "like" them all the time though. I am their mother and there is absolutely no way I will ever stop loving them. And the other is that I did not have all the answers when I became a mother. They didn't come with a set of instructions and I had never raised children before, and I made a lot of mistakes with each of them. They were taught the way I was taught. Learn to use your own brain to think with and I, and only I, am accountable for my own actions.Sometimes they make me unbelievably happy, and other times they make me wonder just what planet they came from. Guess that's just the human part of us.
