At 14 I told a priest that if good people, like my father, would not go to heavenl because they did not attend mass/church, that I would rather go to hell. As a teen I did not always agree with my father's old-fashioned ways but I did know he was a good person. He really enjoyed people and would help anyone if he could. He would take back money to a clerk if they gave him too much back in change. He treated everyone with respect. I credit my father with my current humanist attitude. Sometimes religion can lead us to really "see the light"!

I why the child that always asked why and was never satisfied with religious answers much like yourself.

Got bounched from my gradmother's southern bapist sunday school., must have been 4 or 5 and they were going about god killed the dinosaurs. I raised my hand and said with the best manners I was raised with and had as I child but my daddy told they were killed my a meteor. expecting this adult would explain this conflict, nope.
