Street Prophets: Comments Selfish or developmentally appropriate

I agree (0 / 0)

My parents insisted we go to church as kids. So we'd get up and get dressed up, our parents would take us to church -- and leave! Sometimes after they picked us up we'd go out to breakfast, which was fun.

Since I was in high I've explored many religions because I am curious about them. I like the idea of setting aside time once a week with a group of fellow-believers to remind myself of my higher self, and re-affirm a commitment to live from there as much as possible. But I never found such a place, except inside myself. I guess that's why I think church is not for everyone.

  I have a friend--obviously we're stepping into a situation much different from Laura's now--who would move all the time, and on Sunday mornings her mother would just tell all the kids "go find a church" and kick them out of the house for the morning.
  
  I go to church most Sunday mornings right now, and I take my kids most of the time. I would like it if my husband went, but he doesn't and he's not going to, so I have to look at it like, at least they have an option if they decide they don't want to go before they're old enough to stay home alone. Some people feel the need for spiritual exploration and some don't.
