I watched The Burning Hell and Jesus Camp. One thing that stood out to me was all this talk about why hell is bad, you shouldn't sin, and what will happen in hell if you go there.
Neither spoke about how to be a good person and what you should be doing. Aside from the kids in Jesus Camp being told to elect more judges to ban abortion.
It would drive you mad to be constantly told what not to do, with no direction on hoe to be a good person
It’s indicative of their whole worldview. Children exist to reinforce the behavior and beliefs of the parent. Raising a qualified successor generation is secondary, if they care at all.
And why should they? Jesus is set to come back any day, once they figure out how to trigger the Rapture with some cows and a hill.
Another example of this that comes to mind for me is hearing how schools will put a totalled car on the front lawn before prom to try discourage kids from drink driving.
If you're worried about kids drinking and driving then maybe offer taxi and bus services? It gives this sense that the problems are systemic but the solutions are individual. The kids know not to drink drive but are given no alternatives if they don't have the means to arrange something ahead of time.
