For a "followerofchrist" you seem to have a strange bias against "fundamentalists".
Have you ever stopped to consider the folks you are accusing are raising their kids in a godly way, but the kids are naturally rotten all on their own, and doing right by these kids won't make them *be* right?
When my sis and I were growing up, our parents told us, firmly but lovingly, "This is our house. As long as you are living here, well fed and well provided for, you will obey our rules." And, of course, at times we rebelled, but they set up wise boundaries for us, which (I think) made us better, disciplined people in the long run.
There comes a time when every person is held accountable for himself.

I do. I believe many focus on who they can hate, rather than who they can love and those they can judge, rather than those they can teach.

Yes I have considered this, but being forceful and totalitarian does not help already-problem children.
