Teach your children to believe or else

This old racist whit guy walks in to the Holocaust Museum and starts shooting. Security, that opened the door for him, stopped him at the front door and one man died defending the patrons of the facility.

I don't know what to say. I cannot wrap my head around this. This is an atrocity.

A man was killed recently for performing "late term" abortions in Kansas. The suspect believed in something and killed another human because of it.

A man walked in to a place with the intent to kill people because he believed in something.

A few years ago several men took control of some jets and flew them in to buildings, killing many people, to make a statement about what they believed was an affront to their religion.

Belief is at the root of all wars. Disputes over resources boil down to who believes they have a right to the resources.

If we don't teach children what to believe in, they will find something to believe in.

There are problems with this theory. Most of the people above had their parent's pass down at least some of the structure that shaped their beliefs. Still, pay attention to your kids. Know what they believe. Help them understand the world, people, religion and government. Oh, and themselves.
