�That is his personal choice. He will be taught about all religions, so that he will be able to choose his own spiritual path one day.��jazmommy 6/6/03
�Accept it with sadness.��BCHostMamG 6/6/03
�Pray she isn't a fundie kasdjla! Seriously, I would accept it. I understand that religion can be very comforting to those in need. I believe faith can be useful in your life if it helps you. And I think I will have raised her enough so the bad things of religion she won't take to heart. And if she does, I'll breath deeply and still love her. Or him if its my son.��MightK 6/6/03
�I am open to anything. We plan to raise our children with an open mind and allow them to make their own decisions. I will teach them the best that I can but its ultimately up to them. Who am I to tell them what to believe?��steph4980 6/6/03
�As long as my kids weren't fanatics, and they didn't do anything to jeapordize their well-being or the well-being of others, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. I want to be open as possible with my kids and let them choose their own paths. As long as they respect my views, I will respect theirs.��LuvThatDyl 6/8/03
�As long as they harm no one, and do not become fanatics/start proseltyzing at the dinner table,, I would be happy if it brought them peace. I understand that the major purpose of religion is supposed to be bringing the adherent peace. I think it gets twisted beyond that frequently, but if one of my kids found comfort in it, I guess I wouldn't argue with it.��LoreleiG 6/8/03
�Freak out. Seriously. I've seen the hypocrisy and don't want my child near organized religion.��Captain Feathersword 6/8/03
�You know that rule about food where the parent�s role is to provide healthy food and it�s the child�s job to decide what and how much to eat? Well, that�s my attitude about religion. I want to enable my children to make educated choices and be tolerant of others. If I succeed and my child still chooses religion, then I will accept it. If any child of mine decides to adopt religious beliefs without an understanding of what that entails or if he becomes a religious bigot, then I will blame myself for failure.��squishys_mom 6/10/03
�That would be her choice. I would be very happy to let her explore all different kinds of religions. I plan to educate her in not just the xain religions but others as well. I do not believe in cramming YOUR religion down the throat of a child because YOUR child may not feel the same way as YOU do. Same way I wouldn't shove broccoli down my daughters throat if she didn't like it even though I do.��Cindi_Doll 6/17/03
I don't think I would care much unless it was a drastic change from the beliefs and values I am raising them with and happened during their teen years. Even then I wouldn't interfere - I would just want to know it was a thoughtful decision on their part not a rebellion.��khm217 6/17/03
�What if my daughter wants to pick up a religion? That�s her choice to make. I will gladly and open mindedly answer any questions she has on the subject. I am not going out of my way to make sure she knows but I'm not going out of my way to make sure she doesn't either. If she decides to start attending churches then I will be there with her holding her hand. I support my baby in any decision she makes.�-- itsagirl-born!5/24 7/26/03
