Every parent is responsible for teaching their kid basic moral conduct, manners, the difference between love and hate, and right from wrong.

And you cannot threaten your child with hell and tell them your religion is the only right way. There is no one right way. The many ways to the Creator are as varied as the colors of a rainbow.” ― Suzy Kassem, Rise Up and Salute the Sun: The Writings of Suzy Kassem
