I can only thank god that you did get married by the time she was 4. I fear much longer and she may have been doomed. Only through the blessing of a priest (or at least the paper from a judge) will our society survive.

We are going to have to agree to disagree on this one.
The reason I say that is because me and you are clearly on two very seperate ends of the spectrum here.
I consider myself a good person, and (*)(*)(*)(*) sure consider myself a good father. I love my family and treat others how I want to be treated.
Thats all im going to ask of my daughter. I honestly dont care if she grows up and experiements with drugs, or heck if she ends up a lesbian.
I simply want her to treat other people well and want her to understand that respect isnt a right its earned. You earn respect by treating other people with that same sort of respect.
I dont need religion to teach her those things. I dont see how religion should have anything to do with morals, considering religion is nothing but blind faith with no fact to back it up.
You clearly feel differently on this topic though...MUCH differently than me. I can respect that and I respect your opinion, I just think that the two of us are so far apart on this that it may not even be worth debating because neither of us could possibly change the others mind even a little bit lol.
I look forward to discussing plenty of topics with you though. You will find on most things that if someone can present me with factual evidence and proof on an issue that I am not bull headed and will listen to and give credence to other peoples stances on issues.
