...to raise questions once you learn to think for yourself and have some successful "thinking's" under your belt.
I agree. The only problem is that there are some people who don't think, and as such never get to raise question.
What you said about your parents takes me back to my init question....Is it a lie if what I say is truth to me but not to you?"
Depends, but probably not.
What your parents told you must surely have been truth to them, and it appears they raised you right, right to the point where you can make your own truth.
Well, I'm flattered as I'm sure they would be, but when one of them told me to 'not question things like what the Bible says' and 'an older person will always know better so listen to them', I think most of us will agree those are wrong, by just about anybody's standards.
The way I see it, question absolutely everything. If what you're questioning is really such ironclad truth, then it will withstand the skepticism.
"Come let us reason together, says the Lord".....meanin', ifn it don' make sense, pick up the phone or send an e-mail.
I agree. God knows what He's talking about regarding this.
Your generation is no different from any other, but every generation thinks it is.
I'm not sure I agree with this. The Baby Boomers are certainly taking aging differently than their parents, I'd say. Also, my generation has a strong lean toward questioning religion in particular; a large portion of churchgoers between the ages of 12-16 are just forced to go with their parents and are actually far from believing anything they're told. Obviously, there always were people like that, but I've asked some older pastors and they agree that 'atheism is on the rise'. That's both a good and bad thing in my opinion.

Wanna feel God? Step onto the wrestling mat and you'd be crazy to deny the uplifting spirit.
