If you kids cant have a nice, normal discussion, then shushy. This needs to be split and moved, partioally to issues and partially to b/t.
Everyone has thier beliefs. I have faith in God, although I do not agree with organized religion, I do believe in my faith, and my soul. My boyfriend is an athiest. You make your own choices in this world, and no amount of having shit shoved down your throat is going to change that. You have the choice to believe, or not to believe. I choose to believe, In God, in Jesus, and in much more. I dont think I would be alive today if I didnt have my "imaginary friend for grown ups" But I need that. When I look at my children, I need to believe that there is more than hope in life for them, there is hope after life. Mabye you dont need to believe that. But I do.
There is more to this world than what rests upon the surface. Seek your own truth, find it, cling to it, have faith in it.
And never let anyone tell you differently.
