Do you believe in God?

[katiesue]

I don't remember being crushed when I found out the tooth fairy/Santa wern't real. In fact at our house if you didn't "believe" then they didn't come. So it was kind of a game to keep up showing that you didn't know the truth, otherwise no gifties for you.

Back to the topic. I do belive there is something greater out there. I'm not particuarlly religious though. I do go to church, but only because my daughter is in Chorristers. I like the ceremony, it's kind of comforting. Although more so if people wouldn't chat, turn off their cell phones, and quit writing checks during quiet moments. And if you can't keep your kid quiet put them in the nursery, that's what it's there for. Geeze.

My family was kind of eclectic with religion. My Dad who knows what he belived but only went to church under duress. His family all went to a more fundamental church, "holy rollers" as he called them. My Mom's family were always Episcopalian. So we went to the Episcopal church. But they had no Sunday school so we went to First Babtist for that. My parents wern't pushy with religion. They taught us that religious beliefs were personal and exposed us to many different churches. We could make up our own minds what worked for us.
