I thought the name sounded familiar, and looked him up. The guy is way cool. He survived a PC legal attack on him that could have sent him to prison for protecting his men by roughing up a terrorist a little bit. I'd vote for him. close(-)

Yeah, that can be a difficult situation. I think maybe, in my case, we're going to raise them in the Church and teach them what we believe and why, but we're going to try to leave them room to think through it themselves, especially as they get older. Of course, that's easier said than done. close(-)

Maybe we can compare notes. I was raised in an experimental household. My parents said that they would not influence our religious choices at all and encouraged us to try out whatever we wanted. For me, that meant doing nothing. Then, when I was older I got into Zen. Now, I'm trying Christianity. I think I just want to try out something that is "normal" for once and to be accepted in that way. Maybe it will be a good fit.

My parents raised us in the Church, but after university I kind of lost interest. I think I was pretty much convinced that I was the center of the universe, so there was no room for religion. I wasn't anti-religion, and I still respected it, I was just not interested in it. But I have to admit that over the last few years, as I passed 40, I started rethinking things and I want my children to grow up in the Church. close(-)

It is only the politically correct faction that thinks we should muck up a perfectly good holiday. And I'm down with the whole sharing aspect of Christmas. I must confess though that I'm nearly a Christian convert after 41 years of being a agnostic/athiest with some Buddhism thrown in. I even went to a Catholic church this weekend on my own.

Cool. I've been drifting closer to Christianity myself as I get older. I think it has something to do with going back to what my parents taught me as a kid. close(-)
