And what about the innocent dogs and cats!?
<serious> If I had a child, I would find a church to
attend because I think many good values/attitudes can
be reinforced thereby, but I _would_ check ahead of
time for which scriptures are to be read. There are
some (frex re: Lot's daughters) that I would not want
my young daughter (or son!) to absorb. Once the more
critical thinking/logic areas are developed, we could
discuss it, _in_context_.
