I can’t see Kathyan’s post – Gremlins maybe – but why do you think the child you refer to has been told he’s set off on life with no moral compass? I assume he has parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents?

//It means we all have different roles to play as ordained by God.//
Do the people at your hospital know you're out on your own?
If your god is so wonderful, why, in the middle ages, did he allow the clergy to won and run the knocking shops, with the nuns being the 'girls'? Not very holy is it!
Research it and you'll find it.

naomi; (Good morning!) //but why do you think the child you refer to has been told he’s set off on life with no moral compass? I assume he has parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents? //
Yes, I hope so, but it isn't always the case with nuclear families- and if the child is lucky enough to have sensibly concerned relatives - where do they get it from?
If you were to hang around the law courts I think you would find a large proportion of those convicted come from the secular tranches of society. Few real Jews, Buddhists, Christians, or Muslims and of groups like the Amish People - none.
