I mean, even though they're your parents, that doesn't mean that they have the right to ground you over something that has literally been the basis of several wars. Not everyone agrees on this stuff. Like I said, that argument is terrible. I actually have the answer to that question (if you want it, come talk to me, I'll be glad to speak with you about it, but I feel this isn't the right thread) and it pains me so much to see people who say they're Christians but can't defend their faith, and resort to punishment to silence the one who is asking them. It ''doesn't help anyone. In fact, it only makes things worse for both sides.''

As for the argument itself, the whole "burrning with the Japanese" thing is what hurts me the most. I mean, come on. That's basically racism in its finest, which the Bible discourages multiple times. I can't even begin to describe how hypocritical that statement alone is, much less INSIDE THE CONTEXT.

...Look, I'm sorry, but that argument was freaking ridiculous. That was similar to what I was going to say. I also have the answer to that question, and I was thinking on and off on whether to answer that question.

Anyways, like you, I am not an athiest, and like you, I agree that these parents are rediculous. This is NOT defending faith at all, but rather, trying to force it on another. This also is also an act of love, and directly contradicts 5:43-45. So basically, they're contradicting the Bible, the very book they belive in.

If I were them, I would have actually answered the question instead. After all, I have the answer..
