Almost everyday I come across an Internet posting that decries the evilness of Christian parents who teach their children Christian values and principles. We are actually accused of brainwashing our children and basically ruining their chances of living a normal life as adults.
Isn't that pathetic?
What is even more pathetic is the fact that those very same folks who are so "concerned" for our children and grandchildren have absolutely nothing to say about how other forces influence the earth's children every day.
What other influence am I speaking of?
1. Hollywood, with its sex and violence filled entertainment.
2. The video game industry where games like Grand Theft Auto are so incredibly popular among kids - even young ones. That game is so incredibly horrible and yet millions of parents allow their children to hijack vehicles, kill people in cold blood, have sex, and commit a sundry of crimes, just to name of few of the available options included in the game.
3. The modern music industry with its sex saturated, occult influenced, violence inducing lyrics that offer nothing positive to its listeners.
4. Role models who eschew nothing but selfishness, greed, anger, and violence.
5. Drug dealers who give away free drugs to children so as to get them hooked on their evil wares at an early age.
6. Non-Christian religious extremists who raise their own children and recruit others to believe that strapping a bomb on one's self and blowing up innocent people will bring rewards in heaven.
So for you folks out there who try to make Christians feel bad for raising their children in Christian homes - it will never work! You are standing on very shaky ground and fighting a battle that you will never win. And finally, some day, some time, you will face God one-on-one and give an account of your life and what was the most important to you.
You better start coming up with a good alibi.
