I am sure there are Christians who prioritize loving their child over a specific belief (hi any Christian parent who changed theology after having a gay child), just as I am sure there are atheists who don't prioritize loving their child over a specific belief (hi former professor who disowned Pentecostal child).<br /><br />I don't see how insisting on the differences in thought justify the differences in behavior. Now, I fall in the "parents are usually doing the best they can camp," but I also think it's reasonable for Ryan to wonder why "best" means something different for him than his mom.T42http://psychscribe.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8858648209241030386.post-40028125213461895672013-06-10T16:40:32.114-07:002013-06-10T16:40:32.114-07:00The parent's view on the child's religion ...The parent's view on the child's religion is going to WIDELY differ in these two scenarios, for good reason. <br /><br />You mom thinks you're in danger of going hell for eternity in your afterlife.<br /><br />You think your child is in danger of nothing in her afterlife.<br />Joshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14806463210944769424noreply@blogger.com
