[QUOTE=Ramsey]He still shouldn't be forced to go if he does not want to. What right minded parents would shove religion down a childs throat?



Seriously man, if I were you, i'd stand up and not take that sh[color=white]i[/color]t. IF you don't want to go, I don't see any reason why you should.[/QUOTE]

I agree, religion is even lamer if it is shoved down your throat when you don't want it.

[QUOTE=BoboTheRagingHobo]I agree, religion is even lamer if it is shoved down your throat when you don't want it.[/QUOTE]

indeed. thats why there are so many corrupt mormons.

I have nothing against Christians, but if Christian parents shove this down a childs throat, then thats a problem. Parents should learn to raise their children open minded, so that the child can make up their mind, not raise them the "Christian" way or the "Muslim" way. Let the child figure that out for him/herself.


Thats so sad Joe, and i'm sorry to see you go. Only YOU can stop yourself from going. You know what to do man.

I agree with that

Yeah, religion down someone's throat? I don't know about everyone else, but it would make me hate it then. I have nothing against religion either, just don't believe anymore(I was raised christian, but didn't get forced into anything like that).

I was raised Muslim, and I was forced countless times by mom to abide (my dads an atheist) but I would never conform, simply because things didn't add up in my head. In the end I told her to go screw herself, I will do what I want. I was 16 years old. She respected my feelings and layed off. Now she doesn't care anymore.

Both of my parents are Jewish, but they don't go all Hasidic on me. If anything, they're pretty secular.

I'm not athiest or agnostic, though.

My rents are Jews. We do all the ritualistic stuff... but then we'll go to a non-kosher steak house or whatever. My mum's pretty religious, my dad ain't, and I have issues with the whole organised religion thing anyway

My parents are both Catholic, and they're somewhat religious. My dad goes to church every week. My mom sometimes does. I'm kind of undecided as to my beliefs.

That's pretty much exatcly where I stand. My parents take me to church (roman catholic) every week. I'm pretty much turing to not believe now.

Neither of my parents are reilgious :)

[QUOTE=Efilnikufesin]Are you Reform?[/QUOTE]

Nope. United Synagogue, good old neo-orthodoxy.

I guess I SHOULD be religious by standards - my mum was the daughter of a famous and well known chazan, and my dad's a cohen

Hello to all who just arrived :wave:

The R&M Christian joins the conversation. Raised Christian, is Christian, won't stop being Christian any time soon. Now the real question to me will be to see who of you are hypocrits and won't talk to me anymore knowing this. Those of you who said you have nothing against it that is.


NP: Ozzy - Mr. Tinkertrain

evening AH, btw

[QUOTE=GurS]evening cjborton, ain't seen you about recently[/QUOTE]

I lurk on the weekends.

/Has a four day weekend.

Sup Chris, will you be online tomorow night? I want to play some CoD.

nice dog AH. cute.

Whoa, this thread really exploded since I last posted here :-\

I'm gathering that we're talking about our religious backgrounds, or lack thereof.

I am a Christian, raised Polish National Catholic. We do things somewhat differently than the Roman Catholic church... we don't follow the Pope, our communion is different, there are other reasons...

... I'm going to try to catch myself up on this thread, though :)

Thanks to all who said welcome back, and thanks to those who thought of me driving... it was a safe, quick journey this time.

I'm finally going back to Maryland tomorow. It's going to be a LONG drive, considering my dad drives 60 on the highway.

just this weekend? or every weekend

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Sup Chris, will you be online tomorow night? I want to play some CoD.[/QUOTE]

Should be. I'm down for some good old killing anytime.

I'm Roman Catholic.
