Read anything by God or Darwin lately?

My son and daughter are 22 and 20 now, but beginning when they were young I was determined that they would have a good, positive exposure to Christian religion because I saw it as a important part of American culture. We attended services at a Congregational Church and the kids went to Sunday school every week. If they became believers it was alright by me, and I kept my own religious beliefs to myself.The plan fell apart quickly. In short order they were telling us that they didn't believe anything they were being taught in Sunday school, and that they didn't want to go anymore. I finally gave in, but only on condition that we do Bible study at home on Sunday mornings. We did this for about year before I gave up. They just weren't buying any of it. We'd have long discussions where I would take the religious point of view, but after a while they became dismissive, saying things like, "We know you don't believe that, Dad."I think some non-believers are just born that way.--Percy

Oh, that's interesting, I didn't know you were in the Navy. My son joined a couple years ago, he's in Okinawa right now.--Percy

I don't know what rate he is, but he hasn't even reached his 2-year anniversary yet. He originally started in the seals but had to leave after a minor injury, but he's been reaccepted back into the program and will probably resume back in San Diego around fall. He made it to about the 8th week last time, evidently hell week or whatever they call it where you don't sleep for a week isn't as early in the program as it used to be, so he still hasn't experienced that, I'm not sure he knows what he's getting into yet.--Percy
