Absolutely, parents who beleive in God, would inculcate the spiritual values into their children. This is essential. Coz without an understanding of myth or religion, without an understanding of the relationship between destruction and creation, death and rebirth, the individual suffers the mysteries of life as meaningless may leave them alone.

That's a very good thing

Nice point of view

I think we must all believe in something. I'm into esoteric/new age things and people consider me as being a pagan. My moral values go to an extent that i won't be able to explain right now, but i'm deeply grounded on some moral values. But the thing that makes me stronger is that i believe in myself much more than God ( don't worry he knows i love him a lot and he understands me)

Perry what about you? Don't you want to share your moral and spiritual values with us? Maybe we will feel more at ease to express ourselves then ...

Hi Perry.I also believe in god and spiritual values.I think that without God we are nothing.We need the guidance of the word of God.Remember i am not talking of religion made by man but of true spirituality that bring us closer to god.
That is what I believe in.

Hello Perry.

I believe in God, in a superior force that's inside of each of us. I think I'm going quite along with Splash's line of thought. "I believe in myself". When you're in problems and cry out for God, I think you're crying out for your own interior force, like auto-boosting yourself.

And you are right to say that family is a great thing to go through all life stages. Freedom of expression is a good thing too, and comes back to the belief in yourself. You stay faithful to what you feel and think inside.

I strongly believe in God,during my difficult times, I've always turned to God and every time, he soothed me and showed me the way.

perry i strongly believe in christ our lord and prayer he is the keystone perfection of what man should be like and we are to be like him in every way he came cause god saw no other way for us in heaven but to give us a sinless man in his spirit to cleanse our souls through his blood which was shed for us. a friend, comforter,a father to lean on thru good and bad times, he is always there!

That's cool Heath, you think about God when you are in difficulties. He surely appreciates what you wrote a lot. Hope that he forgives you for being so selfish

Hello Bobert54 are you new to the forum? You seem to be a very religious person. Can you please share more of what you know with us? I'm more spiritual than religious and would like to know what is the thing that attracts some persons so much to religion?

azrael hi yes im religious and very spiritual. "truth" is what i found in the bible ,truth will set you free. All of us go through alot in our lives good and bad faith will guide you , believing in jesus words alone are not enough but walking in faith doing his will and living by his example. what is it that attracts people to god , love and hope ,when in certain situations you cry out in desperation,seeing that there is light at the end of the tunnel, family and fellowship, peace of heart. spiritualy myself was raised lutheran was born again in 1985 had a father catholic, a brother seven day adventist,mother methodist and a sister roman catholic and of all things my mother taught me native american ways since she was full blood blackfoot native american and participated in pow wows, she taught me that native americans are keepers of the earth and we are to cherish what the great creator gave us,giving respect and honor to our ancestors and teaching our children "harmony" ," laughter'' and "giving". Jesus on the cross dying before he gave up his spirit said "it is finished" not "im am finished " it is finished meaning that the battle with satan is done and he has lost and christ won our souls give it all to him and in return he gives us everlasting eternal life in heaven.
