[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, I am in the same boat as you OP.  I am Catholic.  I am currently attending a Methodist church as well.  My oldest is supposed to go through the confirmation process this year.   However, truth be told I am finding out that it makes no difference which denomination you choose.  Church has become an unnecessary chore in my house.  The demands are too much considering that we do have a life outside of church.

If your children do not want to get confirmed, then I will not make them.  It is a big commitment and a time consuming task.  Give it up!  Spend time doing things which make your entire family happy outside of church.

The one thing about church is that they either want your time or dime.  Or in the case of most religious institutions they want both.  Confirmation requires sacrifices that your family do not want to endure.     [/quote]

Even if, unlike pp, you feel warmly about religion, there's no reason to participate in rituals that don't appeal to you, unless you fear divine retribution.  And it sounds like neither you nor your kids do.[/quote]
