Christianity is good for you!

It turns out that Christianity is good for you and good for your kids.  Well, I suppose if you have been listening to certain atheist it might not be obvious.  Richard Dawkins, a well known atheist has claimed teaching children to accept their parent's religion is child abuse, and suggests it's even more damaging than sexual abuse.  Interesting attention grabbing statement and completely wrong.

If you look at Christian families with unbiased eyes it is easy to see how beneficial practicing the Christian faith can be.  If you need further proof, consider a 2018 Harvard study.  Researchers kept track of over 5,000 youth over a decade.  Their findings?  Young people who went to church and prayed were more likely to say they were happy, more likely to volunteer, and less likely to use drugs.  The study's author, Ying Chen, said "Many children are raised religiously, and our study shows that this can powerfully affect their healthy behavior, mental health, overall happiness, and well being."

We Christians don't need a study to tell us that but it's nice when someone from Harvard sees the truth.
