Are you apt to raising a child? Most of us raise children up to ourselves. So, I'm wondering ........ are we really good role models (in a religious sense)?
Thanks in advance!
Those who come to bash someone else's beliefs will be R.E.P.O.R.T.E.D

I am a Christian. I believe I am a good role model for my son, and my nephews. We attended church, and other functions, as well as help some in need. The Bible asks us to do it, so we do it.

I'm a good example only in that I realize I'm a sinner saved by Grace. But I don't for one minute believe that I live up to the "standards" of goodness and Godliness.
As for being apt to raising a child, who can know? I can only hope that my best was good enough.

Yes, without a doubt. While I am the only Taoist in my community, I am a great role model. I am active in the community and am always giving of myself, and am raising my son to be a true, courageous young man with the conviction to always do what is right.

I hope I'm a good example to my kids. We have handed down our religious beliefs, but at the same time we make them world aware of what others may or may not believe. We want our kids to be loving, kind, well rounded, and grow with an understanding of how diversified our world is.

No I am too lazy.
I dont do enough to be a good example.
though I am working on it.
as for adapt to raising children? G-d no. I am in no position to be married or take care of someone else in my life right now. Though I can imagine in a year or two I will start to here complaints from my mother of "where are my grandchildren"

Delusional superstitionism (religion) is not the best load you can pack into a child's mind. It is much better to instill ethics and allow a child to face the important tasks of the future without the dead albatross of moribund religious dogma hanging around their necks.

As a matter of fact I do, to a point. I fully accept and acknowledge that there are areas that I could be better in...but then recognizing that fact is part of where growth and undestanding comes from.

Yes, I try to be. My children can test me like no other, but through prayer I seem to find the way to handle it. I do lead by my example and they seem to love me for it, even when they have done wrong.

I dont belong to a religious group.
I am not "atheist", i am "A theist"...difference...
it try to see that all my actions are good in my own eyes, Gods eyes and my neighbours eyes....i am not saying that i am perfect, but that is what i aspire for...
My conscience is my judge.
i dont have any kids yet...but i think...perhaps i may be a good role model.
