i was raised in a good christain family and thought all of the answers in life could be found in church . sevral of my aunts were school teachers , smart people who told us to just do what we where told in the bible and it all might have worked but it never worked , and as time went by i relized god didnt listen to my aunts and i probly shouldn ` t listen to the ether !
and now im 40 and have two fine daughters ages 6 and 8 yrs and i feel terible that im not teaching them about the lord .. but at the end of the day i feel more responsible telling them the truth , about there problems and how to problem solve . not just feeding there ignorance and leaving them to the wolfs .. and to my aunts who where smart ladys ( grade school teachers ) . that church couldnt even put a baseball team together and they did nothing with the childeren but tell us we were going to hell kind of no matter what ! church was for the adults cause they payed church ties . and the more they put in the plate the bigger the smiles at the door when you walk in ! i simply refuse to be held hostage to guilt
ten percent of my pay check is probly spent on dial up internet satilite T V and real things that my childeren can fill there heads with instead of to a church , PS as a fatherless boy , a very polite boy at about twelve i relized i was goddless too !
