Then I would say that her parents were raised by people who knew right from wrong and believed in a higher power. I am glad she is getting exposed to her Creator now.

I know you didn’t mean it to be, but I actually found your comment to be offensive.

Knowing right from wrong and believing in a higher power does not guarantee a healthy or happy child. I spent the first 18 years of my life being forced to go to church. I avoided it for more than 20 years, yet I never lost sight of God.

Now I enjoy my faith because it is my choice, just as it is my daughter’s choice to participate or not. We are members of the Episcopal Church, but she attends weekly youth group at the local Baptist church. I was raised in the Catholic church and my husband in the Methodist church. We’re all Christians. However, I will not force it upon my daughter as it was forced upon me.
