I will say that I spoke to my children about all religions. I wanted them!, not me to decide what they felt was best to believe in. They all attended different churches or different denominations with friends and I am happy to say they are not biased or bigots when it comes to religion. One is religious, 2 are not, yet they never try to push what they do or do not believe on others. They are also productive, good children. They did not go to "Hell" because they chose a different path and the one that is religious thinks no less of his siblings for their decisions. Why is it made to be so difficult for the children when they are the ones who will one day be the leaders of this world..if one is still left..And I am talking of all children, not just mine.

I agree as well. I grew up in a church that made all the small children sit on the front row, the preacher then preached an hour of hellfire and damnation. In turn, if you did anything at home that was considered "wrong" by your parents, you would be told you would burn in hell for that,,,,,just as the nice? preacher had said. Its no wonder many became introverts, or found your own world that might be filled with fantasies and fairy tales, yet it wasn't filled with a burning ring of fire that went on forever and ever..I'll take a love filled fantasy any day rather than think at the age of 3, the only thing that exists if you misbehave is a place where you go burn forever. Forever seems like a long time when you are 3 or even 53.I will maintain my "spiritual but not religious beliefs". And I dont care who does or doesn't like it. (Sep 10, 2012 | post #44)
Yes! To you conviction means you just got out of jail., where you probably earned that ADVANCED DEGREE you say you need for your job. As for your "offspring ", what did you have?, a litter of aliens? You Are hilarious YET DEFINATELY NOT FUNNY!!!! (Sep 10, 2012 | post #35)
How do we know you dont lie to your children?. Are we supposed to take your??? word about it. And smarty pants, why dont you tell us what you told your children about where babies come from. I bet everyone is dying to know...lmao And why do you act like everyone on here is a dumbass. Its one thing to make spelling errors because thats easy to do with computers but spellcheck would take that out of the equation. Ill bet your mom and dad are really proud of you. Do you have a REAL job or sit home on disability for some bogus ailment like everyone else in Tennessee. Its no wonder this state gets no respect from others. Most people act JUST like we are labeled. Like "Hillbillys. " And the sad truth is that Tn has a very large amount of intelligent people. Unfortunately we are from the Old South and our ancestors spoke "Old English", which REALLY does exist. I dont have any idea if you know this since you could have been born anywhere; or maybe "the ole stork" brought you. I'd certainly! love to hear your story on that one. Maybe you wull be kind enough to share it. (Sep 9, 2012 | post #28)
