    Before we learn any lessons...

    Before we assume this story can teach us anything about any group, I feel compelled to point out that in Texas a couple beat their two-year-old to death for not saying "please." (See http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/12/12/baby.grace/ ). What lesson could we take from that? Don't let young Christians raise kids? Of course not.
