Wednesday, November 10, 2004 at 1:26 AM I dislike the word RELIGION because to me it means a bureaucracy, run by MEN and rife w/ corruption in all forms. I prefer SPIRITUALITY (like DREW), a faith in a Higher Power guiding us, and a moral standard to live by. Sprituality is promoted by religion so we can't totally dis religion... Young people hate religion because it is restrictive for them. It tells them a lot of things that feel good are bad. Hence why young people tend to be liberals. Interesting enough, when they grow older and have kids, teaching their kids spirituality and moral values become a priority because, hey , who doesn't want their kids to grow up decent? I see a lot of non-believers sending their kids to Christian schools. So older people tend to lean conservative. I turned my back on Catholicism long time ago but I send my kids to Catholic school because I believe than even if they would turn their back on Religion (like I did) when they grow up, the positive moral practice and training the religious school gave will serve them well through life. —crumple1 |
