Can one of you explain the religious aspect of Whitmore?  How much of your "education" is devoted to your religious studies?  Do you just attend services or do you study the teachings?

I cannot see how a man of any large degree of humorous perception can ever be religious -- unless he purposely shut the eyes of his mind and keep them shut by force.

That quote that appeared in my post, which I find entirely appropriate, was not intentional I assure you.  They are randomly generated.  Ginger's dad is at it again. :grin:

That's nice, but you've ignored my questions.  Here they are again.  Would you please answer them this time?

The Bible is not my book nor Christianity my profession. I could never give assent to the long, complicated statements of Christian dogma.

ok, well I dont know if you were talking to me or not, but the Sudweeks have their religion as well as everyone else in this world, and since this is America, and we all have the freedom to our own religion, we respect one another. No one is required to go to church with the family. However, many of us have interests and enjoy it, so we do. Religion is not pushed upon us as Mark and Cheryl know we all come from many different backgrounds, and we even can go to different churches. However, where we live there is not really any other church, but when we travel we attend many different religions according to the kids and such. It is a very neat experience, and Cheryl and Mark do not force us to go to church or anything. Some kids just plain do not like church, and they are respected for that. So that should clear up the religious questions, but if there are anymore, I will love to answer them.
