Question for religious parents
"toto" wrote in message
... Most religious folks I know don't generally bring up religion with others who are not of their own faith. Most children who are religious don't tell other kids they are going to hell either. I have had, over the years, several strangers come to me and my children in the grocery store, or a restaurant, and just start talking about Jesus and if I went to church. This happened just a few weeks ago, actually, in Walmart. An elderly man came to say what cute kids I have and then started telling me he hopes I have them in church and he just went on and on about it. When I first meet people, one of the first questions is where I go to church. When I answer nowhere, Oh how shocked the people look and just can't get over that I don't BELIEVE. There have been several times strange children at the park, on finding out my kids don't go to church, have told them they are going to hell. You people who are saying it's not common- you are so lucky. My family couldn't even join a homeschool group in my area b/c they required a signed statement of faith. We drive an hour to get to our group (which is worth the drive, it's a wonderful group, but I do wish it were closer). Christian groups try to ban movies and tv series. (brokeback mountain was banned here but we went to another city to see it, and book of daniel was cancelled on NBC) It's something you just can not avoid here. Marie |
