Yes, thanks. This thing with my kids really irritates me. I told them they are at the age when they wrestle with stuff like that but I have a pretty good overview and don't want to argue every little point. But, for her birthday, I am going to do the extra homework for my daughter. Sigh. Add into that the fact that in my mind she should certainly not be a liberal! Anyway, I am trying to be thankful for the opportunity and that she asked my 2 cents.

I think most of our children have more liberal thoughts than we do.

Yes, my daughter has great faith in God, but her thoughts are a lot more liberal than mine.

My daughter is agnostic. So is my son. But when you consider what we went through, I toyed with agnosticism for a bit too. I think trauma does that to a person. I can deal with agnosticism. But I can't deal with a liberal. LOL!

Well, having veered over that way, I understand how someone can question if there is a God or not ( different than atheism where you say I KNOW there is no God). But liberal thought processes seem just messed up to my way of thinking and open the door for a lot of self justification if allowed to take root.
