I don't think it's garbage at all. They have done a lot of research on this issue of kids raised without dads at home ,and it does seem most of the USA's incarcerated population comes from that type of backround.
This offends me greatly. When I was a teenager I was always off getting high and ripping people off and my parents were (and are) happily married.
Do you parents have any belief or faith in God?
Oodles of it. Didn't keep me out of trouble. Hell, even the fact that I believed in the bugger didn't keep me out of trouble.
Ah, maybe you would have even got in worse trouble not believing in him. I found out from my own painful rebellion that God is faithful and just. He may not take away all the consequences from my past, but he still gives me the grace I need to survive and move forward in faith, hope, and love.
The majority of inmates are also christian. Although stable two parent families are best, a stable one parent family is better than an unstable two parent family.
First of all you have to earn respect, even from your own children. Ever think that maybe it's the single moms that are the problem. Any adult in their home can't wait to leave so the kids end up without a dad. Then people want to blame the person who isn't even there for the failure. Here's a news flash, kids from stable two parent homes screw up too.
If Dobson wants to 'help' people in his ministry that's fine. I'll even defend his right to do so. When he makes it political he crosses a line I consider sacred.
Please, kurious_kathy, do take the credit you deserve. Even it was with the help of God, you decided to do something about your life, and did it. You were not a passive spectator, and should be proud of what you accomplished.
I learned responsibility, common sense and respect from my mother.
I've not heard him ever say people are incapable of sin. This to me is off as well. I don't sin like I use to before coming to faith, especially the bigger ones, but even complaining about things sometimes is a sin,and I certainly have a hard time not complaining when I don't like something sometimes. I still ask God to forgive me when I struggle with some of these things, call them character flaws but I have a promise to be made new someday.
Hi kedo, Im not going to go into knocking the hindu religion even though I myself believe it is a false religion. Their God and the Christian God don't seem to be the same do they? We believe a different doctrine than Hindu's do. And I have known many Indian people (most hindu) and know they are very family orientated. Also they love education and seem to be driven toward getting a college degree and making something of their lives. All these things are admirable qualities as far as maybe being more moral than some people that don't have any faith in God or belief in right and wrong. I just don't know why each generation seems to be harder and harder to reach even on a moral perspective?
Hi sling, I try to remember to not say never, always, and everyone. There is only one time I will say everyone and that's when it come to finding and receiving truth. Everyone deserves to know the truth. Is that possible, probably not, but definitely worth striving for!
Prolly not. I actually get in far less trouble as an atheist, if you don't count the goats.
