I had wondered in the past (before this sort of thing became common) at a person who had so easily changed from one viewpoint on a certain moral topic to the complete opposite one, with seemingly no effort or struggle. I at first wondered how someone could change his deeply held convictions so readily. Then I realized that the first view had not been based on any conviction at all, but just sort of absorbed from the environment.
We are not raising children with well-grounded convictions based on a strong foundation of right and wrong anymore. This is what needs to happen:
Here is what we believe, and why we believe it. You are welcome to challenge it and present your reasons for doing so, but we are going to work through it together logically. You are going to develop convictions based on foundational truths, and ones that won't be so easily swayed by the zeitgeist.
