It drives me nuts whenever I hear someone say, “I don’t want to force anything on them. They’ll make their decision when they get older.” What a load of bunk!

Bugs me too, especially for my grandchildren. My daughter is attending an alliance church and did a dedication.

My two grandsons are not baptized.

I know some grandmas have done it on the sly. LOL!

My stepfather's parents were both non-practicing Lutherans. They never had their son baptized saying he could make the decision when he grew up. He married a Catholic, sent me to Catholic schools, attended Mass with us over the decades but never decided on a religion. If anything, over the course of time, he has come to blame organized religion for many of the problems in the world today.

I hear the same nonsense from coworkers - and yes, it drives me nuts, too!
