[QUOTE="kroberts2131, post: 4242894, member: 11931"] I know this isn’t directed at me but I’ll chime in. I have a similar story to [USER=25419]@TedKennedy[/USER] in that I grew up deeply Christian and even aspired to be a pastor at one point. Fast forward to the present and I’ve also outgrown it. I won’t go into the whole story but I just personally feel that religion itself is silly. Once we are done, the only place we live on in is the memories of our loved ones and what we did to impact them. I don’t necessarily disbelieve that there is a higher being but the one we are discussing just doesn’t add up for me. As far as my feelings for those that believe? Well I attend church every weekend with my family and support them in their religious pursuits. My 14 year old was even baptized recently and I was there clapping for her. Once the kids are older, I’ll gladly provide my thoughts but for now I just support them By being there. To sum it up, I just live and let live when it comes to religion. It’s not for me. The lifestyle and principals are great and I try to apply them to my life…..just doing it because that’s just what a good person does. [/QUOTE]
