a question about religion Options

[Mulder]

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 dont really feel that being brought up in a religious community can affect a person's decision as to what they will believe. My small town is mostly catholic, with the catholic church being the reason for the town's name and all. My father is a strong catholic (my mother non-denom.) and I've been surrounded my strong catholic views my whole life. Yet I choose to differ a bit from catholisism(sp?). I am still catholic, however. Priests, adult leaders, and seminarians from my church have all sat me down & told me many reasons why I should believe in confession and things as such...but i still dont. So its all basically what you've found to be truthful in your own experiences.
