If you have my original post, please reread it.

"You see much less of that kind of behavior coming out of children being raised in church-going families"

I did reread it the first time you challenged, and several times since. My first response was to ask you what else it could mean. You did not offer any explanation of how causality might not be implied in your statement. You simply reasserted that I was the one who had introduced causality.

How could there be a strong enough correlation to produce such a clear dichotomy between the churched and the unchurched as pertains to behavior without causation? What might be the cause of "less of that kind of behavior" in "children being raised in church-going families" if it's not the church-going of said families? The color of their eyes, perhaps?

I didn't say lack of religious training was causing it....maybe these kids were being abused and neglected.

You didn't say "You see much less of that kind of behavior coming out of children being raised in families that don't abuse and neglect them." That would not have startled me nor offended anyone.
