i was thinking about why im agnostic. and i realized, its because i was raised in a christian community, not a jewish one. i never developed jewish ties.


so i was wondering, how do you feel about a child growing up in a community whose major religion is not their own? do you think its bad? do you think that children should grow up in their religious community only? what about public schools?

and i searched. i really did.

I don't think that your surrounding area has much to do with what you believe. I grow up in the south, every half a mile there is a church, mostly baptist. I've been to hundreds of churches and I just can't find myself totally believing what they say. I've come to my own decisions, that sure there may be something out there, but what I don't know.

But see, that doesn't happen to everyone. Some aren't as strong-willed as you seem to be.
