			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is kind of a difficult thing for me to post because I believe that religion is deeply personal.</p>
<p>I think I&#8217;ve mentioned before that I don&#8217;t consider myself to be religious but I do think of myself as spiritual. I believe that anything is possible, maybe there is a God, maybe there is someone at work who decides our fate. I don&#8217;t believe in hell. I do believe in angels. I think that you either end up being an angel and helping those left behind on Earth or you end up nowhere.</p>
<p>So why am I pondering this more today? Because I&#8217;m thinking of Miss A and wanting her to make her own choices about her beliefs. She seems to enjoy RE at school. Does that mean that she would enjoy children&#8217;s bible study at church? Should I make the effort to go to church and give her that exposure? Honestly, I find sermons boring. I know where I&#8217;m going in life and I accept that a higher power might also have plans for me. I&#8217;ll take whatever is thrown at me and deal with it. I do not believe that we need to sit through sermons and church services to embrace God into our lives.  I&#8217;m sorry if that offends some readers but that&#8217;s how I feel.</p>
<p>So what do you think? Would you put yourself through something that you feel totally boring and irrelevant to your life just so your child could have more choices?</p>
<p>The upside is that I might meet some interesting and lovely people! <img src='http://s2.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
