I wasn't badgering you, I was conversing with you. Basically, if we'd been talking about football, you wouldn't be whining about how when you posted something to me I had the audacity to post back. Kinda misanthropic, dude.
and if these are the methods Chuck Colson has in mind to "instill" his message in a generation of children, he will not convert them either.
How did you pass the bar with such poor logic skills? This article is not about witnessing to non-Christians, it's about Christian parents and clergy instilling their values in their kids. That's why I asked about your parents.
Logic, shmogic. I prayed : )

By "values" do you mean morals or ethics? Parents can, indeed, teach their kids how to play nice with others (ethics). But how does one "teach" faith (morals)? I thought Christianity stresses a *personal* relationship with God. How can parents get their kids to believe the message 100% the way Colson intends, i.e., how can one "instill" a leap of faith? That's why I asked you what methods Colson (or others like him) propose?
As for my own parents, let's just say that I'm happier than they are with how I turned out, and "lawyer" has very little to do with that. You can "instill" away 'til you're blue in the face, but don't underestimate the ability of kids of any age to see through what they perceive to be BS.
