ARTH
The statistics on evangelical children remaining active in their faith are very discouraging. I imagine it must be worse for those children whose families are less well grounded in their faith.

I have come to the conclusion that some issues are beyond defense. There is no argument that can justify forcing a child to attend a godless government run socialist-entitlement school or forcing a taxpayer to uphold and establish with their hard earn wages the establishment of this godless and socialist worldview. No government should use the threat of police and court action to force this on to a child or force a citizen support this government school First Amendment and freedom of conscience abomination.
By the way, I feel the same way about abortion. To engage in debate lends legitimacy to the abomination.
Catholic parents who don’t provide home schooling or place their children in Catholic school are playing Russian Roulette with their child’s formation. Besides the endless propaganda, the academics are ridiculously superior. I see parents who sacrifice dining out, better cars or homes, and even getting a job just to pay tuition. Those are real family values.
Got very sick of it. As soon as I was somewhat independent, I quit doing that and never went back, except for the occasional wedding or funeral.
That was nearly 50 years ago. I won't be changing that.
That is a great statement of truth: “Don’t be surprised if when you turn your children over to Ceasar, they come home as Romans.” The Romans were slaves. The pegan Romans were sex obessed, materialistic, abusive, immoral and cruel.
This society has “progressed” (digressed) from mere child neglect to aggressive child abuse and it’s only going to get worse. Christian (and Jewish) parents have to stop lying to themselves. It’s waaaaay serious now.
This generation’s systematic program of cultural cleansing (named diversity), targeted at American-American children, is nothing to laugh about. Being stripped of all idenity and demonized as the whole world’s hellish problem tribe, is serious business. Ask the American indians. Ask the Black skinned people. Ask the Jews. The self hating, ignornant empty hole targeted at the human soul, is hell.
We need to not only teach Christian American children who they are in Jesus, but also about who they are as free American self reliant people. It’s the best the world has ever seen. Which is why the dark ones have targeted it for erasure.
Parents! Put a stop to it! Rescue your children.
Credo in Deum Patrem omnipotentem;
Creatorem caeli et terrae.
Et in Jesum Christum,
Filium eius unicum, Dominum nostrum;
qui conceptus est
de Spiritu Sancto,
natus ex Maria virgine;
passus sub Pontio Pilato,
crucifixus, mortuus, et sepultus;
descendit ad inferos;
tertia die resurrexit a mortuis;
ascendit ad caelos;
sedet ad dexteram Dei Patris omnipotentis;
inde venturus est
iudicare vivos et mortuos.
Credo in Spiritum Sanctum;
sanctam ecclesiam catholicam;
sanctorum communionem;
remissionem peccatorum;
carnis resurrectionem;
vitam aeternam. Amen.
In English:
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ,
his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived
by the power of the Holy Spirit,
and born of the Virgin Mary,
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried;
He descended into hell.
On the third day he rose again;
he ascended into heaven,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
he will come again
to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy Catholic church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen
