And you can lecture me about how I should love my son when you demonstrate to me your fitness for doing so. You don't know him or me. Until then, you can shut yer piehole.
Fallacy Alert!!! If not A, then B.
Values are learned through experience, which parents cannot (nor should they ever) completely dominate.
I do find it disturbing how some parents treat their chldren as if they were posessions, and not the social responsibility which they are.
If you are trying to "instill" atheism in your son rather than allowing him to make that choice for himself, then you are no better than any religious asshole. If that's the case, then we have no more to say.
Mr. Hanky loves you!
