I think Candace is beautiful and I’m happy for her in leading a seemingly happy, content life.

Megs: I have read the Bible cover to cover, and I’m sorry, but I wasn’t touched at all. If you believe in it, fine, but some of us don’t believe and reading a book won’t change a thing.

If you guys don’t belive in the bible or God or religion. . . how can you believe in anything. Don’t you think that maybe you think religion is worthless because you’ve been brainwashed by the immorality of the world and the presence of the devil?
I would recomend reading the Holy Bible from cover to cover and experience the stories and testimonies within it. It will definately touch your life if you allow it to; if your searching for peace or direction or salvation.

I don’t think there is anything wrong with homeschooling as long as the person or parent teaching the children is qualified. Otherwise, that’s what schools are for, teaching and at the same time the children are learning so many other things like social skills as well as their own beliefs and boundaries.

People judge things based on their experiences, hence my beliefs concerning homeschooling.

I don’t think that homeschooling children is never called for and obviously it a choice that every family must make on thier own.

Homeschooling is NOT just done by religious fanatics. Not every Christian is an eye-popping lunatic. In fact…the vast majority of home-schooled children are taught at home because the parents felt that public schools were failing their kids and private schools were not an option. Homeschooled children do better on standardized tests and they have a far-reduced statistical chance of getting knocked up, doing drugs, committing suicide, joining gangs, and a whole host of other frightening stuff that my generation (I’m 33) never dealt with as a whole. So. I am a Christian. I never shoved anything down anyone’s throat. I don’t judge anyone else except in my belief that people who practice no religion at all are missing out on one of the greatest parts of the human experience. I never condemned anyone to Hell, and I’ve never heard my pastor or any of the people I worship with do so, either.

And…I will homeschool my kid the MOMENT I feel her education has become subpar. If she is bullied and the schools don’t deal with it; if she is gifted or needs remedial help (too young at this point for us to really know, yet) and the schools don’t help her in a productive, challenging way; if the politics at her school persecute her for having a religious, military, and patriotic family…whatever. I know that I have the fortitude and the financial planning ready to take her out and see to it that she is educated in a loving, effective, and academically sound way at home. How exactly does that make me a horrible parent?

I think Candace grew up gorgeous. If she’s a “throat-shover” that is unfortunate, but I’ve seen no evidence of that whatsoever. What I see is a happy, well-adjusted, successful and content grown woman. I suppose some people can’t stand seeing that and have to find a way to piss on it.

I wasn’t going to say anything until I read the bullshit posts.

My family is Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox, and the stereotype as Christians being intolerant is in most cases not even true.

I make a lot of mistakes. I’ve told a few white lies. I’ve gotten angry. I’m a jealous woman. I’ve acted upon revenge, I lust upon men, I swear, and yet, my “freaky” family knowing all of this, has forgiven me and still loves me.

Even though mom and dad believe in Heaven and Hell, they don’t think you rot if you don’t look up to a higher power. I have had dozens of Atheist and Agnostic friends as well as Christian and religious friends, and never have they favored the religious ones over the irreligious ones.

What I’m trying to say is that I’ve just about had it with self-righteous, smug pricks stereotyping all Christians as judgmental and sanctimonious when in reality, you’re just as bad for labeling an entire demographic of people to justify your ignorance.

There are bad Christians in the world, and you call them all judgmental because of evangelists.

I guess by that mentality, all Moslems are terrorists.

All black people must be criminals.

All Mexicans must be illegal aliens.

I must be living under a rock because no Christians I know have tried converting anyone to their own religion.

The truth is, you will find great adults who were homeschooled and dysfunctional adults who were homeschooled… just as you would find a variety of people who were schooled in a public system.

What alarms me is how people are judging the practice based on “this kid I know…”

My husband and I are full-time writers who work from home. We are educated and fully capable of instructing our children from home, as our schedules are completely flexible. Personally, this has nothing to do with religious beliefs and everything to do with distrust of a failed system.

As for socialization, you don’t need to be parked behind a desk eight hours a day to become socialized. Last time I checked, that is a stifling position to be in and isn’t social at all! Sports, museums, playgroups, etc. are conducive to socialization and my children experience them without being placed in a state-run facility.

Forget what you *think* you know about homeschooling and look into it a little more before you judge. Honestly, I’m not claiming that all public-schooled children are STD-ridden hooligans, do I? Because it simply isn’t true, no matter what the media tells us.

What is creepy is how narrow minded and bigoted some of you are regarding the beliefs of others regarding religion and homeschooling.

I know an 18- year old that was homeschooled and is one of the most opinionated, knowleadable people out there!

I’m all for believing in what you want to believe, but I’m glad they teach no religion in public schools. As someone who is going through the public education system currently, I think it’s only fair to everybody that they teach no religions, seeing as there are so many religions out there and teaching relgion in school could be unfair to some religions.

But hey, that’s just what I think. Some people might disagree.
