Seriously, Niamh you are correct.

I was not raised as a Christian (my immigrant mother was Buddhist) and I never thought about any type of religion at all whilst growing up, but then in my 20's I started to search (for want of a better word) philosophies and numerous Religions and even mysticism and the paranormal, and it was as a result of this that I 'discovered' Christ and the more that I researched, the further convinced I became that Christianity was for me.

I do not try to impose my personal beliefs on to anyone else - not even my children - but I do vigorously defend my faith when I have come under attack or jeering for it (which has happened).

Each to their own, I say.

I do find Religions in general quite interesting, funnily enough I think I'd enjoy studying them Buddism actually is an intriguing one. I don't know alot about it but I always thought that it was more of a way of life though rather than a religion as such?

I don't set out to mock people when I post in this threads but I feel like I have every right to give my opinion on religion especially since it was forced on me for my whole childhood, i think that gives my the right to comment
