And another thing...Concerning religion...

I taught my kids that there are many different religions, any religion that they were interested in learning about, I discussed with them....I left it up to THEM to decide what religion (if any) to choose....Religion is a very personal thing, and they have minds, beliefs, and ideas of their own...

Seri chose to be a Christian (not the 'I'm better than you, anyone who doesn't believe what I believe is wrong, closed-minded, "pusher" type' )...

Alex hasn't decided yet...He's only 11...

I have also taught them not to be offended by other people's views of THEIR beliefs...And not to offend others because of others' beliefs...

We are ALL offended by the TV Evangelists...Not because they are Christian or Catholic or whatever, but because they (the majority of them) are greedy, materialistic, and full of themselves...Spending far more time begging people to send them money, than they do 'preaching'...Which completely goes against the doctrine that they are supposed to believe in and be 'teaching' others....Hypocrisy gains little respect
