Quote by Gary Bauer
Having robbed children of any sense that their Father is in Heaven and that they are His creation, we then launched an experiment in raising them without earthly fathers too. Having neither a Father in heaven or a father in the home, many young men make gangs their families.
Summary
This quote highlights the consequences of societal changes that have impacted the role of fathers in the lives of children. It suggests that by diminishing the importance of a divine Fatherly figure and increasingly absent fathers in the home, we have created a void that young men may seek to fill through alternative sources such as gangs. The quote implies that the absence of a strong connection to fatherhood, both on a spiritual and earthly level, can lead to difficulties in finding a sense of belonging and purpose, thereby fueling the formation of bonds within destructive groups.
