I hate it when I see these confused teens :confused: and preteens stuggling to find themselves because their mind is tainted with all this religion bullshit. I think they all should start off Atheist and try to find what fits them best instead of being told what to believe. How will you raise your kids? Will you make them follow the religon you do? What do you think of what i just said about starting them off Athiest? That's what I want to do when I have kids. What about you? :)
Well if I have kids I would like them to believe in God. But the choice is ultimately up to them. My rents never pushed any god stuff in my face. Hell we never went to church or read a passage out of the Bible. But things have happened in my life, that makes me believe that God does exist and sometimes just sometimes he anwers some people's prayers
You miss the point, Belleza. being brought up in a religious framework is just another was to transmit tradition. I'm not a religious person by any stretch of the imagination, but my family is Catholic, and I don't eat meat on Christmas Eve and Good Friday, I celebrate Christmas and Easter, I have almost like 2 birthdays, one my actual birthday and one on the saint's day for whom I am named.
I don't believe in it, but it's tradition, and that's why I embrace it.
shoot... you started your post with......... "you missed the point" : (
I respect tradition, but don't you think kids these days grow up following a certain faith then they end up questioning it anyway? I believe there is some kind of higher power but that's because I found it myself. I was supposed to be Catholic but I said "fuck that" lol. My parents just happened to never have time or people to baptize me and im 16 and still not baptized and im glad im not. I think that happened for a reason. I know i was meant to find my spiritual path myself and not let my parents throw me in a Catholic church. They know I don;t wanna be Catholic and i don't give a fuck if it's tradition. Personal spiritual discovery is more important to me than what they used to do back in the day. :)
well i jsut had a kid...not evena month old yet...and yes i will force my religion on him.......lol.......now if only i had a religion to force on him....anwyays even if i did i wouldn't anyways.....
ahh, kids growing up as atheists, only if reason prevails which i doubt.
I totally agreeQuote:

ok i really don't want to get in a heated religious discussion...but how can you force your kids to take on a religion with no feisable (sp?) proof that such a god exists?
