Gail, my statement was not meant to hurt you, just to point out that having children may affect how one looks at this issue. My apologies for the unintended slight.
While I'm sure humans are capable of making anything an idol, even a child, I don't see where anyone is advocating that. As someone said earlier, you could make toothpaste an idol, but to repair that situation, you wouldn't stop using toothpaste. The fear of idolizing children is no reason to instead intentionally expose them to the infections of worldly lusts. You wouldn't walk a child through a yellow fever ward without first making sure they were properly innoculated, and the same is true of the fetid swamps of higher education.
My family is far from perfect, due in large part I think because I am woefully imperfect, but by the grace of God I will trundle on in this stewardship He has given me, trusting in His covenantal promises towards them.
Am I imagining things, or is it mostly folks without kids that are skeptical of what Kevin's saying? Now that's a big surprise!
