Subject: I used to feel kind of guilty, well that was built into the whole religious instruction (went to a Catholic elementary school, Catholic high school for girls and a Jesuit university, although it was there that I actually took some interesting theology courses that were required that really made me think even more). Sometimes I feel a bit uncomfortable when my Catholic friends talk about their kids making their communion and confirmation and I feel that there is that question lurking, how come my kids aren't. My excuse usually is that they go to the Greek Orthodox church with my husband and things are done differently. Sometimes I just say that I'm just not very religious anymore. OK, so now I've pretty much gotten over the guilt.

[> Hmmm..what a good question!!! I was raised a Methodist and I must say I still have a fondness for the hymn-singing and the feeling of gathering together and worshiping. Although I no longer consider myself Christian (at least, not as any church would define the word...), because of my present beliefs, I do not feel guilty. Rather than Leaving a church, I now INCORPORATE those beliefs within a new framework. Not guilty...just love to still belt out those Gospel hymns and Spirituals. -- Betsy, 19:31:40 06/25/03 Wed
