We respect that, but to each his own. You being willing to live and die for it has absolutely no bearing on the issue at hand.
The issue at hand being that Sara's parents are having a hard time coming to grips with the fact that their daughter has matured to the point that she's questioning her beliefs, a natural stage in life.
The idea is that Sara is going to develop beliefs of her own, which will end up being much stronger and more developed than any that may have been simply handed to her.
Whatever it is she ends up believing, she's probably going to have as deeply a conviction as any devout catholic, so I don't want to hear anyone telling her it's not right.

lol way to sound like health teacher colton. And im not arguing that she shouldnt question her beliefs and you're right we all do it. I did it myself. But in your "questioning" dont insult what other believe by calling them cults and what not. And it also might depend on certain churches. The way one catholic church or priest runs mass might be different from the way a younger more comtemporary priest runs mass. And yet they all still belong to this same catholic "cult".

I do agree that calling it a "cult" is uncalled for. I've noticed that in current times, people who believe often get harrassed as much by the hardcore atheists/agnostics/apathetics/teenagers as what used to be the opposite.
I think a blanket "stfu" is in order for everybody. Can't we all just get along?
sara you know i love you, but i think it just may be st marks. i got talked into going into a catholic student service tonight at the catholic student center. it was probably one of teh best services i've ever been too. it made me think about what i believe, but it didn't make me feel guilty that i'm probably one of teh worst catholics ever. it was just a relaxed community kind of feel where i could just sit and think. i don't know if i actually do believe or not, but i'd rather try and find out that i don't like than turn away like i have been. i think st marks just isn't the church for me because everything just feels so materialistic there for me, and extremely impersonal.
you know i'm not a god kiddie, most definately. and i'm not telling you to stick it out and see if you like it. but maybe you need a change of scenery.
