Riptide Rush
So while visting with my sister to see my new nephew Dennis, the topic of baptism came up. Jokingly at first I said "Don't baptise him, let him choose his religion for himself!" my sister replied "I wont force him to stay catholic, but for now this is how i want him raised, if he wants to change his mind later in life thats up to him." But then I began thinking.... My parents have raised me so well in the catholic faith, for me to "change" now would be extremly difficult and stressful. When your parents people you love and trust tell you something for so long how are you suppose to go against that? I believe them, and i value thiere beliefs on many things. Now as a learn abotu other religions there are so many more out there that make sense to me, but for me to doubt my original beliefs is somehting i can't do i feel guilty. I am cathoic, and i believe in what the catholic church teaches... i dont always agree with the way the church interprets and does everything, but im sure that will be that same with any religion. Everyone will interpret things differently. Is it better to be raised in a faith or not? I guess at least I believe in something.
