[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Confirmation guarantees nothing. I was confirmed in a progressive Methodist church. I quit going anyway for several years, then found my way back to religion—Orthodox Judaism. My mother would now prefer that I was an atheist. [/quote] How in the world did this happen?[/quote] PP. I went looking for meaning and I found it, but not where my family wanted. I’m philosophically more all-or-nothing when it comes to religion than I was raised and Orthodox Judaism is much more black and white (obviously) than mainline Protestantism. This clicks with me but not my parents, who are much more tolerant of ambiguity and contradictions. Neither of us is wrong, it just is. It’s hard for us to understand each other’s way of thinking but we get along OK. [/quote]
