You said -- "You very good at making assumptions."

And you are equally good at making "calloused" statements, it appears (especially after reading what Michael Reagan has to say about it).

Furthermore, what you say about this -- "Of course, the PC mentality won't allow for such training because it might *offend* someone or hurt their feelings." -- makes no sense.

That kind of training is done in the home or at the parents' choice, so what does PC mentality have to do with preventing parents from training kids in their own homes according to their beliefs, have to do with it?

It might have something to do with "PC parents" [and their kids] -- but *not* with parents who choose to do so on their own.

P.S. -- Also, parents who are followers of Jesus Christ and teach their kids the ways of the Bible, will be very well aware of the sin and evil that is in the world. That's the *main prerequisite* for coming to faith in Christ, that one *recognizes* this *universal and sinful condition* of every last single person in the world, including you and me -- and that this is the reason for the need of a Savior, through whom God says that there is no other way, except through Jesus for salvation.

The ones who dismiss the teachings of the Bible are the ones likely to be PC and thus believe in some "inherent good" in people (and that means it applies to *anyone*, no matter how good they appear).

I take it, by your recognitiion of EVIL in the world, that you know that this comes from the utter depravity that is inherent in the sin condition (which is stated in the Bible) of every last single person in the world, whether it be that "perp" who took the boy, or the parents themselves, or even the police who arrested him.

The PC parents and their secular views are the ones I was referring to. They don't teach their children how to protect themselves. Hell, I don't think they teach them anything.


This story gets stranger and stranger by the minute. This kid, even though he had been kidnapped, was leading a fairly normal life, even had a girlfriend. Like I said from the beginning, No matter what this monster did to me, I would be gone the first chance I got. Maybe I was trained better.
