Thank God Muslims, Jews, and Secular Progressive Liberals never engage in such behavior!

Attending a religiious school, you'd expect that experience and the
religious following of his parents to impart some basic values.

This kid hadn't developed enough sense to understand that killing his
parents would not lead to more freedom and time on his xbox.

He'll have time alright, not so much freedom.

And WTF is up with being able to pry the gun storage open?

And from where do those without the benefit of a religious upbringing acquire their basic values?

(Be careful now. You're about to step in it.)

From their parents and extended family. We home school our kids in
moral and ethical values. Personal responsibility, eh?

Thank you. You made my point.

Who gives a **** about your point. My point is that you can't
outsource moral training for your kids. Too many religious people
just expect their kids to get it based on the family's commitment to a
church or religious school.

You're absolutely right about not outsourcing moral training. I'd never realized that too many
religious people had those expectations. Do you feel most of our drug and shooting problems are
because religious parents outsourced the teaching of values to their kids.

Sorry, morals come from observing your parents in action and how they
react to their child's behavior.

Great point. Don't know why you feel apologetic about it. I look at the spreadsheet of shootings in
Chicago for last year and wonder - did the majority of the parents of the killers outsource the
teaching of values?
