Tradition also happens to be one of the two pillars of the Faith--the other being Scripture.
Perhaps you should re-evaluate your distant forebears' religious affiliation.
Thank you for so eloquently sharing your beliefs in a polite fashion.
However, as for me, I'll stick with the Scriptures, thanks. (See Abraham's words to the suffering rich man in Luke 16.) There is not a "second" pillar of faith for me.
If everyone held on resolutely to his forebears' beliefs, there could be no conversions to Christianity by non-Christians.
