hyperfocus, that's very helpful. I think I'm going to poke around a few churches and meet some people. I want some kind of faith or abiding in my son's life and our family's.
My BS detector has really gotten to be pretty exceptional. I have no problem walking on something after an assessment.
In the end, what counts for me are kindness and good works, a deep respect for others and by extension, our planet.
If a church will not hassle me with rules nor fill my child's head w/ nonsense about who goes to heaven and why, that's a big plus. I think I'll go by myself and check it out.
I have horrible memories of catechism. Face slapping; no questions allowed. Sending my son into a catechism class would be a hurdle I am not prepared to take yet.
We'll see how church goes first.
I can't even believe I am thinking of doing this. But here I go....
