but these kids are not 6 years old. they are 16 to 18 year olds.. meaning they can think for themselves because thats what they've been told to do for their entire teenage years.
but when you're telling them that this is wrong and immoral and whatever else, then you're deciding for them.

Well, to follow your logic, teenagers who are dependent, living at home, and not really old enough to be on their own in the world as self supporting adults, should receive no guidance from anyone whatsoever.

When I was 16 to 18 I thought a lot of stuff true that I found out later was not so. And so will most kids that age. And so will you.

Try doing a FR search using the keyword "homosexual agenda", and then read up for a few hours. It'll be a real education.

I wish you well.

If only that were the case. The kids today are not taught to think for themselves, instead they are taught what to think.

When an authority figure cites an absolute truth in this context, they are helping to instill character in impressionable teenagers. The teenagers still have to decide to accept or reject absolute truth, just as you have decided. To reject it, it would seem....


Welcome to FR, perhaps.
