good afternoon.A quick motor trip to the ocean was short lived.
The rain came and making things miserable so we head home.
Why did we want to go.Get out of the house and enjoy life.

Yes I am less religious than my parents but I'm still very much a spiritual person with a firm belief in God.

Less so than my mom. It was mom who insisted on dragging us to 10 different churches to find the one that would let her boogey down the isles with out judgement , mom who was "filled with the holy spirit" who made her cry rivers of mascara and take a nap on the floor.
Dad is religious when it serves his purpose like justifying his homophobia

My mother sent me to a private religious school (not Catholic) and it turned me off to religion, but I do believe in God. Just not religion.

I am sorry your ocean visit was cut short because of rain. I am more religious than my parents were. My parents kept kosher both inside and outside of the home but that was all. I observe Shabbat and holidays and fast on the fast days. My grandfather was very religious when he retired from his grocery store and I believe I followed in his footsteps when I came to live in Israel. Here is where I became religious.

Growing up I was religious because of the school and evertything. But I have different views now and more into growing in spirituality and appreciating life.

I'm less religious than my parents just because we didn't go much as a child and I lost interest. It all felt very robotic to me, not very much love.

I don't know if I am less religious then my parents were, but I am less demonstrative about my religion then they were. I feel that it is a very private and important part of my life, but I do not feel it necessary to be as active in the church as my parents were. I do what works for me and what I believe to be right.

I have inherited my faith in Almighty from my family. My grandfather was not religious at all as he followed no rituals. He was spiritual. My mom follows all rituals. I think I am more like my grandfather. I am God loving and not too much into God fearing rituals.

I can't say. They always go to church but doesn't do good in the outside world. I try my best to attend Sunday mass and I'm well behaved inside or outside the church.
