That clip is funny. I don't think anything is gonna make me smile today except my little guy did this morning. He's so great and goofy.

I just don't understand why my beliefs have changed and then when I express something...I get jumped on for believing that. It's my belief...but here lies the problem...I'm asked...well what are you gonna tell little guy about that...and I said well I don't know really I just want him to choose for himself. I can state what I believe and then say you don't have to believe as I do. But now lies a huge tension in the air that I can feel and I don't like it. But such is life and I can't make myself believe in another way.

Here's a quote I needed today and maybe someone else needs it too today.
" A Strong Person is not the One who who doesn't Cry. A Strong Person is the One who Cries and Sheds Tears for a moment, then Gets Up and Fights Again"

Sorry for throwing a paragraph of problems in the mix. I know we all have our own shat to deal with.

Hope all is well with everyone. The day is really nice here.
Peace and love to all.

Rod you may inform Mrs R that Mrs C finally got her sodding shelves

May I humbly suggest that any future communication is HEAVILY censored by one of us ?

Yes yes I know this is ATS and censorship is frowned upon, but guys, you haven't seen the list of "little jobs" that need doing with which I was presented by my oh so presumptuous better half

Good day Nat

It coulda got really confusing for my boy when he asked, me being brought up a Christian and finding my own path in life, him being Jewish and all.

So I turned the question around and asked him what he believed

He sat all thoughtful for a short while looking at me occasionally then said ................... kids you gotta love em

I believe mummies God is right,

I said well if I believed in God it would be the same one.

Answer ? Well mummies God is right and He says I need Ice cream

Aww nuts sorry about that mate... i should have kept my mouth shut!

So she has not asked you about the wooden cross and bench with strange handcuff rings on the side to be erected in the bedroom yet like the one we have?

Mrs R is looking over my shoulder and wants to see the shelves...

That is pretty much how I handle it.

My daughter is free to believe whatever she wants as she grows up.
My sons too.

There was a lot of conflict in my previous marriage over belief systems, but after we divorced and the kids were put into church (almost forced) as they got older, they became much more open minded. You cannot force a belief on someone if it just doesn't feel right. I was however very open and honest with them about my own beliefs but always reminded them that not everyone believes like I do, and some even think my own beliefs border craziness...lol

But I was always honest with them, and always tried to explain all sides of beliefs when it was asked.
I always told them there is no wrong way, just your way and my way, especially when it came to spirituality and religion.

I remember one of my boys coming home one day from sunday school and he looked me in the eye and told me I was going to burn in hell because of what I experience and believe, (he was 6 then) and although that hurt, I explained again about what belief systems are, and how we all have to make our own decisions.
I then asked him if he believed that I was a bad person for being like I am, would I deserve such treatment?, to which he said no, but that is what the bible says.

I think the lightbulb started burning a little brighter in his mind at that point. To this day they all question religion, although all attend church,they know what is right and what is wrong and hold strong spiritual centers.


Kids are smart, and if they are taught that there are several views with religion and spirituality growing up, and to not judge someone because they believe differently, they will know what is truth and what is spoon fed. My views are not their views, but their views are no less valid than mine,only difference in perspective, labels and experience.

The important thing to me is to keep them open to the fact that there are many ways to experience life.

reply to post by cody599


You did reply, I didn't...lol

I love South African accents.
I once met a lady on the trai n coming back from New York who was from South Africa and fell in love with her accent.
Almost stalked her around the train for a few days just so I could talk to her

She was all about seeing bears because she was sick of lions and cheetahs....I couldn't get enough of how she said cheetahs....lol

No, no rambo this weekend I hope. I did order myself a pocket clown though so I could be a real man....
