They can start doing the investigation right here in my house. I have tree young children, 5, 7 and 9. They all play the wildest, most disturbing games around. They watch extremely violent movies often with content not suited for their age, I often use bad words in front of them and all other stuff that a good Christian would freak out about and condemn me as parenthood. Especially if they hear me say to my kids my famous saying, "There is no gods, but only evolution"

Anyway, you get the picture, we must be the worst, right. My kids must be bullies, with bad grades and they are always fighting, and use foul language at school and home, right?

WRONG!

Let's start with the young one, it's a girl, she's five and goes to pre-school. So to tell you the truth we can't really know how she performs in society. So let's skip to the others.

My two sons are so similar they can be spoken of as one.
Home they respect us and are obeisant, point.
At school, they are simply the best, the best grades in class, best behavior and loved by all teachers, nothing less.

The more they know from youth, the better they can confront life on a daily basis and have a good philosophy of life. And grow fair-minded far from any false notion one would want to impose to them.

And to come back to my daughter, I think she's even smarter than the two boys when they were the same age, she catches even faster. So I guess I can predict she is going to glow at school too, behavior and academic wise.

Therefore, it all comes down how we teach our kids about life and how to behave and interpret all types off circumstances. Anyway, it is working for me and my wife, and we are proud of it because we think we will never yield idiots that will start shooting people because they feel rejected a way or another.

In my house, a game is a game, a movie is a movie, and life is reality, plain and simple.
