: That's all fine and well, regardless of how misdirected their parents are, God is very clear about children obeying their parents. Even if kids object, they should follow their parents instruction and nobody should try to encourage them to do otherwise (in this case anyway).
: I admire their spunk and I know that kids will try to do the things their parents are against, because that's part of being a kid! : )
: In any case, they can always wait until they have chilren of their own and commit the unpardonable sin of living vicariously through them!
