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.
