This is one article that was published about 2 days ago from the source, and it is still getting in those views from readers. I am reposting here, and if you want to read readers' views, and join in the discussion yourself, please follow the source. Read on... ----- A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology revealed that people are often angry with God in the face of difficult situations. In the two-year study of 5,472 university students, two out of every three respondents reported being angry with the Judeo- Christian God.

Someone once said: "Values are not taught to kids; they're caught by them." They're picked up routinely through the subtle influences of simply being together through the day.
