[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When I was a kid and things at school got complicated in MS, as they do for many students, it was a relief to have a separate set of friends at Sunday School.

+1. This is why a strong youth group is so important [/quote]

Too bad that you have to believe, or pretend you believe, in God to be a member of the youth group.[/quote]

I sure wish this statement made a modicum of sense. [/quote]

What don't you understand?  PP thinks that it's too bad that people  have to believe in God, or pretend to believe, in order to have a separate set of friends.  Maybe the kid could find a separate set of friends at the playground or somewhere where you didn't have to believe in God or pretend you believe in God, like Sunday school, which is affiliated with church. 
 
Are you suggesting that there are Sunday schools that don't teach about God?  Maybe in the unitarian church.[/quote]

No PP said that it’s too bad you have to believe in God to go to youth group. Which is oxymoronic in the highest order, given that the purpose of church youth group, by definition, is to associate with others who worship and learn about gods love. [/quote]

Their purpose may be to associate with others who worship. In my experience, there is usually only a couple of die-hard believers, and the rest are there for the social aspect. [/quote]

You could get the social aspect by joining a secular sports team. [/quote]
