I think your critic is a bed-wetting atheist bluenose.

Of course, children need structure. You give them the best structure you know how to give, and expect life to take over from there. Your atheist critic would evidently prefer that you give them no structure at all. I wonder how his kids are doing.

You don't need to explain yourself. And I have a word of caution/advice. When you have a blog, you feel obligated to say something, whether you actually have something to say or not. Be careful, friend, brother. Don't invent excuses to post. That way lies pride, and madness.
