Shalom,
Based on past history......tuna!!!

I agree with you to some extent and disagree to some extent.

The Young prince may believe that his kids wont kill, but even with their religious training, they are still growingup to kill. (does it matter if they kill at age 16 or age 36? Killing is killing...)

The other countries I mentioned are full of people that traditionally have grown up in a cultures with a strong religious presence, full of people who believe in God. All of those places suffer from mass murders of their citizenry at the hands of civilians who are convinced that their particular vision of religion d is so clear and great, that they are doing gods work by committing atrocities. It happens with disciples in every religion.

I agree that an increae in spirituality would be a great benefit to the world. Personally, I think we are seeing the beginning of that happening now. Personally I don't think that it has to be only in terms of Christianity. I think it is almost necessary, though, that people start to realize the inherent value of all people, including themselves. without that, any gains achieved will be very short lived, as people will always revert to harming others without it.
