But yesterday at lunch the kids were talking about someone converting to LDS, and I said that I would be very disappointed if they did that because it would mean that all of my parenting in teaching them to think for themselves failed.<br /><br />That's what I think of organized religion.Cat https://www.blogger.com/profile/14407425908043520623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4341308729189935273.post-36753619021598743492010-04-05T08:40:01.170-04:002010-04-05T08:40:01.170-04:00Ponita: I go because it's important to my fami...Ponita: I go because it's important to my family.

I'm sure you pass with flying colors when it matters.<br /><br />FGIS: I agree that religion has been an incredibly destructive force in humanity. But it's not ALL evil. I helped my mother tremendously.<br /><br />Nurse: That seem to be consensus here in the comment section, but not out in the real world.<br /><br />Daisy: Yes, if I was a gal or gay, I think Yul might be my type.<br /><br />Jimmy: That's exactly how I feel. If it helps you and you're not hurting others, embrace whatever you need to embrace. <br /><br />HIF: I've always participated in Christmas for it's secular celebrations. The whole town lights up.
