How do kids get involved in a church if their parents don't go? Do they go with their friends?
Dropped mine off.

Cheep daycare on Sunday mornings?  :zoinks:

When my boy was one or two, we were looking for daycare for him. My wife found this one place that looked promising, with lots of space and educational toys and teachers per kid and and whatnot. Very promising indeed, until one of the teachers mentioned that they were following the lead of the great Ron L Hubbard in everything they did.

Actually it is. Usually they try to lure you in before they charge extra.

I'm amazed at many of the people I've known since grade school who were godless heathens growing up but they get married, have a kid or two, then turn into huge Jesus freaks.

Any thoughts? I'm stumped.

  A woman I work with abandoned Catholicism as a young adult, but returned to church after having kids.
  She and her husband felt a need for religion to give their kids moral structure or something.  :pope:

One time my toast looked like jesus and I sold it for 60 bucks on ebay.  :zoinks:

Indeed. Although explaining away things with a god isn't knowing.

I've heard about prisoners on death row finding religion.
