And yet!, there are *gasp* non-religious folks who have managed to: -Make their children learn and appreciate the norms & values of society... -Set moral standards for their offspring... -Sexually educate their kids (giving them the freedom of deciding for themself wether they are 'ready')... *...all by themselves* Imagine that!
