Raising Children

Nissenbaum pointed out that the way you raise your children is very reflectant in your religion. For example, the Puritains were convinced that humans were born with desires, wants, ect. The Puritians attempted to stomp this out of their children...so to speak. They refused to celebrate Christmas because it is centered around our wants and desires. The Unitarians on the other hand, believe that the desires and wants aren't born with. In short, they believe that the wants and desires are developed. Once a year at Christmas is certainly alright by the Unitarians to Celebrate christmas. I think that I would be inclined to agree with the Unitarians. Once a year it seems all right to let go.
