I don't have children but if I did, my devotion to their wellbeing would certainly parallel yours. It seem that God might have an equal interest in his children.

Most people I know frequently break the law in one way or another.

The only thing that prevents people from committing all manner of crimes is a firm belief god will punish them if they sin.

I've trespassed the law a couple of times when I was young. Reading stuff about the propaganda of the deed at 15 doesn't help.
Still, I only regret one thing. What keeps people from committing crimes is: 1) to establish a system that respects human values, 2) to stop laws from being oppressive and 3) to make sure people aren't lured into trespassing laws.

What keeps people from committing crimes?
Possibility of being shot in the face by a colt magnum. Yelling rape won't stop a rapist, but a 45 to the head will. Dialing 911 during a burglary won't stop the armed burglar from committing harm to you or your family, but a 12 guage shotgun to the assilant's chest will. What keeps people from committing crimes? Laxed gun control laws. Let's face it, if you're a criminal, you would rather hit up a town that has strict gun controls rather than a town where you know anyone could be legally packing.
