Welcome back Mystie. Did you have fun?
Mystie, I wouldn't call myself religious because I don't practice in the manner I should to be considered religious. But, I do believe in religion because it lead me to God. I would consider myself spiritual becaause now that I have found him, I choose to honor and worship him in my own manner. (walks, nature, reflection, giving of myself to others) I don't feel I need the parish community as much now as I did when I was raising my children. At that time I felt it was very important to establish strong roots for them.
And with Brad, you miss my point. It isn't that he isn't religious or spiritual or even that he could effect someone to reject belief in God. Doubtful that he would have any kind of influence with someone who has found God's love. It is about these celebrities, and he isn't the only one who does it, feeling the need to announce it to the world like they are somehow proud of it. *smirk* With the manner that they live a privaled life, they should fall on their knees and give praise to God. Especially for seeing poverty with their own eyes. I bet the majority of the poor people they care so much about have belief in God. Just infuriates me when they use the microphone they have been given to make that statement.
And lastly, I felt sorry for Brad's parents. With the manner that they raised him, to hear your son say that can be heartbreaking. Trust me, I know first hand. I fond it selfish and uncalled for. And just their need to say it shows without a doubt that they have no belief because it is cold and uncalled for. Most Christain parents hope to reunite with their children in heaven. I don't understand the need to shoot that down for them in their latter years of life. Period!
I am glad Brad said it, shows him for the person he is from my point of view. Makes me shake my head, I really felt he was different from all the others. It is just disappointing that's all. Not like it will make or break me. I just chose to vent it here Mystie.
Good to have you back buddy!! Tell me about your trip when you find time.
