Me too. I've always been non-spiritual, even as a kid when my parents took me to church. I just didn't get it. I prefer to let my kids determine the personal importance of these questions for themselves. I can't fake it and don't want to.

When one persists in witnessing to another who has expressed that it is not their desire to be accepting of it, it ceases to be a loving gesture and indeed beomes a force of one's will and indeed, I could assert one is then placing one's will above God's will.

You are indeed a lovely person, I enjoy your posts and look forward to your contributions to this community. Respecting the spiritual/lack there of(Love ya Cathy ) diversity of this community, I'd like to ask you to share your self and experiences without evangelizing. We're all pretty great adults who are capable of finding our own way.

Dissenting opinions welcome:

I agree. Thanks for saying this so well.
