Re: Once A CATHOLIC.
Speaking as a believer I do not find remarks made by unbelievers to be personally upsetting to me. I know it's always been an age-old thing never discuss religion or politics but I don't mind other people's point of view and would defend their right to have an opinion different to my own. Then again it might have a lot to do with the fact that in the church I belong to we are not told what to believe but encouraged to gain our own testimony of different aspects of the religion. This also goes for the children who at first no doubt go along with what their parents are doing but by the time they reach 12 or 13 they are by and large very definite about where they stand. I have a ten year old who isn't averse to voicing her opinion too. It has got them through some very tough times.
Unlike some I do no feel happy thrusting my beliefs upon other people but gladly welcome a discussion anytime.
