An excellent article. ...Thanks for the post Alan. An excellent article. As a parent, it has been a challenge to respect my children's agency and yet instill beliefs that I feel will be in their best interest. It becomes easier as they grow and mature. I think a parent has the obligation to teach values and set standards, but as some point, we need to back off a bit and allow them to stretch their wings and fly, even if not in the direction we would wish. <br /><br />Because I was raised thinking this was the ONLY true church, when I had a crises of faith, it was easier to throw out all spirituality because if the ONLY true church wasn't true, no church was. For several years, I became an atheist. <br /><br />I am now grateful for that experience because it made me reassess my entire belief system. It made me realize that goodness can be found almost everywhere, and made me appreciate others beliefs in a way that I wasn't able before. <br /><br />I can now watch people make choices that I may not agree with and not condemn. Their decisions might be exactly what is right for them.Bravonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02762204502534599107noreply@blogger.com
