[QUOTE="Lil, post: 691323, member: 17309"] I think the whole reason I would have had more religion, is just to have had that experience. In church, he would have had Sunday school classes and met kids that were being raised differently. He would have better understood Jabber's very religious family. Parochial schools are generally more advanced - and he was very bright - and have smaller class sizes. Further, because there's a fee...(and I feel like a terrible person for saying this and I totally don't mean to imply that "rich kids" are better than "poor kids", but)...he would have been guaranteed to have had a different group of friends because the ones he hung out with could not have afforded it. Then again, he's more than once described the kids from our local Catholic high school as drunks and druggies and the girls as "easy" (only more crudely). So maybe he'd have been worse. But the local Lutheran school is tiny - his cousin's class had like 12 kids. Not sure if they let non-Lutheran's in. I like this. I tend to concentrate way too much on the negative these days. But, I'm sure you all couldn't' tell that. lol [/QUOTE]
