Yes, I tend to agree. I am of the opinion that if we go around telling our children they cannot play in certain areas, or that they have to give up "fluffy", we will do more injury than anything.
How do you think that child will remember christianity when years down the road he fondly remembers "fluffy" and then remembers that "Jesus" made him give up "fluffy"?
Also, if we avoid the woods and rivers and streams, as well as parks and lawns, etc...then we are creating an atmosphere of fear for ourselves and our families.
We were warned not to eat the meat of animals. We were not warned off of contact with animals.
If we communicate to our children that we are so fearful of our environment, how can we expect them to grow into a relationship of trust with the Lord?
If we present fear in our daily lives..."don't do that"...we are not being a good witness to our children, families, or friends. We need to trust the Lord at some point. That may be different for every person, but we have to make a stand somewhere.
