Is there a way that you will expose them to the different beliefs so that they can make their own decision?
My wife and I plan to take our kids to church at least periodically. I'll be honest that I'm not religious. I can't be. I struggled for years to force myself and it just isn't me. But I recognize the peace and community it can provide. If for nothing more than cultural knowledge, my kids should know about Christianity. Beyond that, I'd like them to explore other world religions as they are curious. There's a lot of good to be found in religions. I believe that they're all wrong, but that doesn't make them useless, and I understand I could be wrong.
I don't know exactly what we'll do. I just know that I'm more open-minded than when I first lost my faith. I see the positive aspects now, which I couldn't then. I figure I'll teach my kids as much as I can, but when they're older, their lives are their own to lead.
I understand that. I fell out of it when someone I loved was killed. My mom told me God was punishing me for loving him and not being married to him. I decided that wasn't my God. Ive got my own God now. I also looked at different beliefs and took what I liked about them and molded them in my own. You are right, I think, in letting them go their own way but at the same time exposing them to all the different aspects. Good for you!!!
