I've been neglecting this issue for some time now. Personally I feel it's good for my daughter to be raised with appropriate morals as well as enjoy the church community every Sunday, they treat her well there as well. Heck, even if I decide not to allow my STBX to take her to church anymore I doubt my daughter will be very happy, but she has been very resilient thus far dealing with parental seperation and if she can get over that, I'm sure she can get over not going to church. I believe it's healthy for her to believe in a higher power, but quite frankly, I fear long-term repurcussions for her believing in Christ. I don't want her to become religious, or to fear the unknown. I've been raising her to acknowledge actions and consequences, to be good not out of fear, but out of her own moral convictions. And hell somethings are also gray... Unfortunately, this may put her at odds with the church once she comes of age. I fear that if I continue allowing her to go to church, I will regret it. For the record I'm not Christian, my STBX is, and as for my daughter it's all a nice fantasy for her, not just Christianity, but also of my faith. I've taught her in a way where my influence in her beliefs blend fluently with Christianity - thanks to having learnt to deal/merge with my STBX's faith last few years. Thoughts? What age should I pull her out or should I just not pull her out at all? | |||
