[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 301968, member: 1963"] Well, given that I am agnostic though culturally Jewish, and husband was an unreonstructed pagan who followed both the Norse and Celtic pantheons (he pushed this through the military system until he was allowed to wear his pentagram and Thor's hammer... Could be the boy's got his head screwed on straight, LoL. I've often felt that the worst thing you can do is to push a person towards a specific belief system. Oftimes it just pushes them the other way (husband and I both grew up in religious Jewish households and rebelled. My grandfather is an Orthodox rabbi. All three of his children are atheists) Multi-theistic religions are a lot easier to understand because you have various powers that be each of whom have a specific responsibilty.\ Sort of like what you'd see in real life. HOWEVER, to truly understand a given religion, you have to read the writings in their native script, be it Hebrew or Latin or Aramaic or Arabic or Hindu. Seems to me the child needs to study up on classical Greek, LoL [/QUOTE]
