[QUOTE="rebelson, post: 690194, member: 19966"] Agree. I am also christian, I bring my littles to church. I did the same with my difficult son, who is almost 24. He even attended a christian private school from 3rd thru 6th grade. Since high school, he has proclaimed himself an 'agnostic'. But, then again, he is a very philosophical person, very 'real' as he refers to himself. I think these 'type' ppl have a harder time believing in God. It saddens me a bit that he is agnostic, but it is his life, his choice. He likens christians 'who believe in God, to believing in Santa Claus.' :eek: He says 'people only go to church to [I]feel good[/I]'. He is partially correct but he does not believe in the God part of the feeling good. With that said, my own husband, who proclaims that he believes in God, and prays, does not ever go to church with us. He will, if it's a special holiday or such. I don't push him, either. But, as a person, he's a wonderful human being. And, sadly, a better, kinder person than many ppl who DO go to church regularly. There, that's all I have to say on this. ;) [/QUOTE]
