Your son sounds great!<br /><br />In the end, I think, we have to try to teach our children that life is about freedom and responsibility - that these two values are but different sides of the same coin, and that they often mean that the answers to things aren't tidy and clear-cut.<br /><br />I'm glad to have found your blog!Francis Hunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00422476000328664994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-65488735301387346272011-02-19T16:12:47.799-08:002011-02-19T16:12:47.799-08:00Stupid feckers, indeed!

Religion doesn't push the why question. It does push the "just believe" idea. My engineering co-worker told me that questioning too much will lead you astray. I'm still questioning everything.<br /><br />-- change of subject --<br />I suspected you would post some views on the WI teacher situation.

In addition, over 2000 scriptures in the Bible address giving to the poor. Do not ignore the poor, on and on. Compare that with the other issues (and scriptures) many Christians bring to the surface and hang their hat on. We each come with beliefs. Who gets into heaven? If we believe in heaven and hell I suppose we all have to work that out with our maker huh? I just hope the way I live and believe get me a ticket through the gates:) Thanks Holly for sharing your important words.Patricianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5879347314635530398.post-62207951148243793912011-02-03T12:17:12.513-08:002011-02-03T12:17:12.513-08:00Ouch!

The only advise I can give to help him fight his disappointment in his peers is to have patience and realise now that his role is to educate those more ignorant than himself.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.com
