I can agree with this, but because back then there was many wars over land and religion back then. Those acts of violence are suppose to teach us to be better Christians and people. I rather watch a good action movie with out all the sex. But hey you can't have action with out violence especially transformers :3 haha

You know what I say and so does my mother is not to let your children watch that. Like I watch cartoons and Disney channel (I mean the good shows on there),but you know what I also watch the news and crime shows. I believe in monitoring what children watch and hear at home, but you can not do that at school or out in the real world. All you can do is teach them what is right and wrong.

:nod: I agree, you gotta take a look at this sort of stuff, see what's appropriate for your kids to watch or read, and make it available or not available for them. If I were Christian, I could say with certainty that while I would hold my personal beliefs, I wouldn't be asking the kids to read the bible until they were much older and more mature, if only because the cultures back then when the book was written are so different than what kids are being raised in today. It'd probably be different for someone living in the middle east, where there are still religiously-fueled conflicts, I think.

Anyway, thank you for your comment! I appreciate you taking the time to write it. :D

Yes! My parents had a Bible for my siblings and I and it was like over the stories of Moses, Adam and Eve, etc. I fully understood that part of the Bible but there is more to it then that. There is more lessons that are taught in there that I could not fully understand until I was much older like 13 and 14. In the Bible children are sinless until the age of 6 then they are held accountable for their sins. I would instill those lessons about behaving your best and always do the right thing before then. I wasn't saved until I was 13 because I didn't fully understand. I knew that Jesus was my Lord and Savior, but I didn't fully understand. That is what my friend's uncle is having his daughter do she is 8 or 9 years old and she is getting baptized. I am not getting baptized till this summer and I am almost 18 because I am more mature then I was at 13.

No problem. :D Its fun to hear that other even though we do not have the same religious views we still have the same views about parenting.

Ah yeah, I totally get the whole 'not understanding til you're older' thing. I was raised Christian-ish, went to a private Christian school for a few years in elementary school, and went to sunday school a few times as well. My parents tried to raise me like that but in the end I never really understood what the whole deal was, only that my parents said some guy called Jesus/God was watching me at all times making sure I wasn't being bad - but that didn't stop me from being a little brat sometimes anyway. In the end I fell away from the religion because it just didn't fit into my life, and so I was atheist for the majority of growing up. Anyway thank you so much again for your comments, I really enjoy reading them. :)

Yea people will not get it even when they are older, but if you do not understand it is ok. I pray that people will one day find a path to understanding, but I will not force you. Same with me! Kids will be kids. We act up as children because we are still learning what is right and what is wrong from our parents. We still do it as teens and adults we just have to learn to correct ourselves. Aw thanks and no problem. I have been enjoying having a mature conversation with another person. :D
