The Struggle

My Mom said to me today: "I don't understand how you can love us so much and disregard the way we raised you. How can you love us so much but not our religion when that is the core of who we are?"
I replied: "I don't think you're giving yourself enough credit. You are more than just your faith."

Oooh, Good One!

My mother would have slapped me in the head if I said something like that to her.

What religion were you raised?

Sharon, I was raised Catholic. So Catholic that we even had to go to church when we were on vacation. My parents faith is something I admire in them but I cannot relate to. My Mom and I struggle with this often.
