Is parenting without God really advisable?

When the Atheists in Kenya put out an advert for a “Parenting without God” seminar, it caused some stir. Some feared that it was likely to upset the established social order. Its billing was certainly audacious, especially in a highly religious society that is Kenya. Some of us therefore decided to attend, if only to hear about this new approach to raising family. The expectation was that this would be a game changer — a show stopper. Well...

About 30 people turned up for the seminar — consisting mainly of curious Christians. Sadly, the panelists seemed uncertain of their subject and had no clear script for presentation. According to those present, it was therefore hard to follow their line of thought.
