I think the problem is that anyone can claim to be Christian and distort it into some kind of manipulative ideology. North Korea is an atheist country but I know that the atrocities that happen there don't necessarily spring from atheism.<BR/><BR/> It was never beaten into me, my parents gave me the opportunity to choose. I didn't grow up Christian, I only became one when I came back from Iraq. It would be a joy to teach my future children about God. How could I withhold the greatest part of my life from my children? Christ has given me a brand new life (it may seem like self-delusion to you), I would want them to know Who it is that has done that.<BR/><BR/>What your son's name?
