My son converted to Catholic when he married. He said once, Episcopalians are watered down liberal Catholics, which I responded, it is for faith in Christ that is important. He teaches, or used to, and we never have had any other argument in this.
My younger daughter had said she was moved by the Spirit and had joined a fundamentalist church. She was of this mind for several years; now, she seems to talk less about it, We never did have a strong disagreement. Her children were made to attend church until her daughter refused. The boys are hard to define, and seem more interested in video games and girls.
My youngest son does not believe in anything that is not provable, yet he does believe in love? He believes in many things not provable, but not any religion, or belief in a higher power, yet we never discuss it.
My older daughter has the closest church leaning to me, yet she does not quite understand the meaning of salvation. Yet, her children seem the least religious, especially her oldest.
My oldest granddaughter is a confirmed atheist; she is a good person who does not belabour the issue. She admires her uncle, my youngest son, who believe the true measure of ones life is wealth. She is married and plans to attend law school, with having children, while her husband is a company man, I wonder who will raise them, maybe a Christian nanny? She did tell me she plans on not raising her children with any religion. Her brother is irreligious; he thinks all religion is a way to explain what is unexplainable. Her younger brother is what some might call a Christian moderate? Whatever this is?
My grandson is much like his father, my oldest son, as is my granddaughter; they are all believers and Catholics.
My granddaughter from my younger daughter was a fundamentalist, like her mother, however, she now thinks little about religion, yet she claims to believe as much as ever. She is now a nurse; she claims to serve God by doing good works for people. She is a good kid and seems to want to, someday, be a nurse practitioner.
It seems my children are all Christians, except one. My grandchildren are less religious, yet they are coming into young adulthood and may change?
We all have been grace believers all along though, which I consider the most important doctrine. (Talking about my parents' immediate family)
