One has to wonder if you will use the same terms to describe them or will you actually practice the tolerance you christians enjoy preaching about.....

It is good to know that there is not a long line of people out there acting just like you rather that you are the one bad egg in the basket so to speak. You can not possibly begin to know how someone's child is going to turn out. Typically, most of the time, the children emulate what they learned and watched in their home and from their environment. There are some exceptions to this, there are children who will do different but it is not how it often goes. Yes, I have given my childen the desire to think for themselves and allow them to freely do it. They can express their own thoughts and opinions. I encourage it. They are extremely tolerant of others. They have been taught that as well. They are the most compassionate children you'll ever meet from watching their father in his profession. Don't even to begin to try and judge my children or myself because of your issues and short comings. My children are on a great path because of a home where God is at the head of the household, morals, values, and principals are taught, and they've learned to love everybody.
Brain, I hope you have a great day!
