RIP. A sad testament to adolescent stupidity. I'm not going to say what I think it says about raising children to believe faith is a virtue, or that clerics should be trusted at all; I don't want to be considered a fedora-style atheist.
Well it certainly says something about raising children to believe in a ~certain~ faith as a virtue...
I'm glad you're avoiding the usual fedora/"euphoric"/neckbeard style of many interweb atheists
I feel terribly for their parents, but as for them.... play stupid games win stupid prizes. Frankly I hope ISIS drains Europe of its Islamic militants so they can be obliterated with the rest of that that group.
The teenage rebellion aspect is interesting in this case. I have the feeling that if this were the 70s, they would have been Maoists or the like
