Can religious fundamentalists be good parents?

It shouldn't be a matter of concern for the state and will probably be and should be overturned on a federal appeal, although they shouldn't have to go through that. Even better perhaps the state could amend their constitution to get rid of the provision the judge used.

LOOOOOOOL I needed that Mikeyy, thanks. It does and they are in their mid to late 30's so beware. Now we need to not trust anyone under 38.

But yes they can be parents. How good of parents I don't know. But I am sure many love and rear the children with love and hoefully are involved with the education and manners of their children.

Just as I am sure many religious parents love and rear the children with love and hopefully are involved with the education and manners of their children. Maybe even as many as the atheists parents.

No doubt.

Of course an atheist can be a good parent. Just because they don't believe in a god doesn't mean they don't know right from wrong. There are a lot of people who profess in believing in God yet their kids are raising hell all over the place.

removed by mlurp.... I agree marylouc. It is more of depth of commitment than anything else.
