(24,411 posts)...and I live in an upper-middle class suburb. The women wear designer track suits to the grocery store. You get the picture, I'm sure.
I feel that at least 90 percent of the people here attend church regularly.
Also, you brought up your children. I worry about that as well. I don't want them to suffer and to be
outcasts. That's not fair. My husband and I have lots of discussions with the kids about religion,
morality, philosophy and humanity. I teach them about all world religions. I also teach them that judging
people is wrong and the importance of being a good person. We have discussions about the meaning of
life and about their place in the world--almost every week. However, morality doesn't seem to matter
to people--as much as how often you go to church.
Seems like you understand what I am talking about. I often wonder if we would fit in better in a bigger
city or in a more liberal city--like Seattle.
