My dad was a Methodist minister for a few years before he passed away. I was very devout back then. Now, there are too many ideas that don't make sense for me in any specific religion.
Religion has been a BIG issue lately for C. and me because we're working on having children. A HUGE part of who we are today is based on the fact that both of us had church as a part of our lives and we have fond memories of activities like summer Bible school and church camp. However, since we don't believe in any single religion anymore, providing those types of experiences for our children becomes problematic. We've talked about going to many churches, synagogs, etc. instead of trying to find just one to belong to. That way our children will be exposed to many ideas. The main concern with that is that we don't confuse them.
I LOVE when anyone has faith. I only object when people tell me that I'm WRONG and that I'm going to hell or wherever for not believing what they believe.
