Why would she do that if she's secular?

OP, I agree with UU. It's also great you're doing mindfulness things with them. [/quote]

Maybe this feeling she is having/ her child is having is calling her to give it a try.  We all change, evolve.  Be open to new experiences.  [/quote]

Yes, but she said church isn't for her, so suggesting it isn't helpful. [/quote]

Wow, PP, you sure are defensive about that. What are you so afraid of about church?

Yes, OP, why not give it a try? God does work in mysterious ways.[/quote]

She's made a decision about what she believes. Why are you trying to foist church onto her? I'm not afraid of church -- my mom is Catholic and I've been to mass many times. I was raised Jewish. I have ample exposure to it. I have decided I don't believe in Judeo-Christian religions; my beliefs aren't compatible with it.

It's fairly patronizing to respond to someone who says "this isn't for me" with "just try it; God works in mysterious ways." Why not respect what she believes in? [/quote]

And you are obviously terrified at the idea that OP might actually change her view, which means.... perhaps... that you could potentially change your view as well. And I know that can be scary when you are so antagonistic about religion.[/quote]
