But otherwise, yes, I agree that the parents did the wrong thing. I second this. I also know why, and you're more than welcome to ask me as well. And they didn't just do the wrong thing, they were just being wrong the entire argument, at least in my attempt of putting the snippet into context. Indeed. A good Christian should know how to foster a logical argument, or better yet, avoid one..! Actually, we have a Bible verse that proves that a good Christian should be able to defend thier faith. (Hey, they're Christians, how can you be a Christian and not believe your own Bible?)

"But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear"-1 Peter 3:15

So, as a Christian, the most logical option is to give a logical explanation to defend your faith, not just quit the argument. But as you can see, it's "give an answer to every man that asketh you", not "punish those who beliveth not". (I made the second one up, it's not in the Bible anywhere.) So, I suppose we can agree that the parents were wrong to the wrong to the WRONG!!! That's what I was saying. However, there are times when it is wise to avoid an argument, rather than march head-on, and there are times to defend.
