How would you feel if at teen wanted to attend a Christian church but his/her atheist parents didn't allow it? Would you think that the parents should allow their adolescent to make up their own minds?
I don't know why but I thought you had children, GC.
None of my own, was a youth leader several years ago. It's really funny you mention that, I just became aware of a young girl who went to church and accepted Christ and her parents refuse to let her go back or have her former christian friends. As a youth leader I sat in homes with parents and their children having good conversation about letting their children come to church when they wouldn't allow it I did not push the issue. Pushing on people is the best way to push them away.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
