Curious and not sure why. How many our our struggling adult kids are atheists?

[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 648248, member: 3419"] Nomad, I think that pattern matches the patterns I've seen where out-there kids come from families that don't offer direction and structure. Same thing with-religion. There is something to be said for ritual, not to mention the "why" we do things. It is sad, and nauseating, in fact, to see so much ignorance out there with-our kids. I've seen so-called funny videos where college kids are asked simple questions, such as why is Easter celebrated, or who is our vice president, and the answers are all over the place. NOT funny!!!! (Covering my ears and eyes and yelling alalalaalalalala!) I used to subscribe to a magazine called ROOTS AND WINGS, for adoptive families. The title said it all. You are given roots by birth and adoption, and then are (or should) be given wings to create your own life. Problem is, so many parents haven't given their kids roots, so how would they know what wings are? Waxing a bit philosophical here ... :) [/QUOTE]
