  24.  @grigorigahan  The original purpose of the US education system was to teach people to read PRIMARILY so that they would be capable of reading the Bible for themselves. The ability to read was an empowering act for people fleeing religious persecution and they wouldn't have been concerned about any of the nonsense that has been tacked on since then. You seem to be assuming a great deal. A good parent does not either neglect their child nor cripple them. A parent's job is to teach, train and strengthen a child so that they can leave the home and live successfully and safely WITHOUT their parents. An adult child should not be controlled or manipulated and dictated to about which career to have, who to marry or how to raise their own children, etc. At that point, the adult child is fully responsible for making their own decisions. As someone that was sadly raised without the Lord and who went to public and private schools, I was "in a prison of those beliefs", as you put it. As a former non-believer I used to think that God and the Bible were complete fairy tales and that Christians were idiotic hypocrites... A lot of that was simply training from friends, family, society and "education." I began to search for the truth as an adult which led me straight to a genuine faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I only wish that I had been homeschooled, protected from this wicked world and had been taught the Bible from a young age. It would have benefited me greatly and it wouldn't have taken me so long to come to a knowledge of the truth. But the good thing is now I have a genuine relationship with my Heavenly Father and that matters far more to me than any relationship with an earthly parent. So you are right, parents can be a boring backstory and that is especially true for a lost parent and their born again adult children. As a believer my true family is now other believers who I will be with for eternity. I pray that someday soon you will know the same joy and peace. Matthew 12:48-50 KJV 48 But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? and who are my brethren? 49 And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50 For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.
