Who said I hate kids?That is simply misinterpretation of what I am saying.I am simply being realistic about children.As far as what Jesus said in the Gospels,he was talking about the FAITH of young children which is pure and innocent and
trusting.In other words he meant that our faith should be like that of young children.
And yes,children do sin and are just as evil as anyone else.This is because we are all concieved and born in sin(with One exception of course).
It is interesting that the Second Helvetic Confession urges parents to apprentice their children so that they do not become idle.
Childhood in fact is an invention of the 20th Century.Before then children were either apprenticed to work or set off to be educated there was no such thing as
childhood.
Now before I am accused of going off here let us remember that even cute and cuddly animals can be and are often very dangerous.
I love lions and bears but I wouldn't want to keep one as a pet!
