Well, first of all I would like to tell you how my relationship with religion has been.
Since I was a little girl I was in Catholic school, where I had to pray every day in the morning, go to mass every friday. I had a compulsory religion subject until high school. When I was growing up, I realized my interests in science and philosophical currents, which totally contradected what I was taught all my life. It was from there that my point of view began to change despite this very influential evironment. It was hard to say I didn't belived anymore, when everyone el did. And even more difficult when I told my family.
My family has been very serius in religion all my life, in fact they forced me to receive my first communion and to make confirmation. So to say that I no longer belived in god was very disappointing for them.
But my position has remained very firm since then, and more and more convinved of what I belived and what I don't, and best of all, the people who felt disappointede today support me and respect me and I them.
Hi, I really hope you are receiving the support you deserve. I believe that everyone should respect the opinion of others regardless of their religious belief.
ResponderEliminarHi Josefa, I hope your family can understand your decision soon, the hardest part is facing your family, but it is worth it.
ResponderEliminarPeople shouldn't let their family relationships be affected by having another opinion about a religion. :(
Hi! I think philosophy is very useful to understand some things. It is also very good that you have support and respect for your belief, otherwise I imagine it would be more difficult for you.
ResponderEliminarGreat blog! I think it is so cool how you were able to find your own interests and what makes you happy, even when you had the whole world around telling you how to do things.
ResponderEliminarI hope the situation with your family gets better!
I am glad your loved ones have accepted your opinion, it is very difficult for older people especially to accept that many people do not believe in God.
ResponderEliminarHi, I'm very sorry for the situation that you had to go through with your family, I think that people are intolerant because the same church and religion make them that way.
ResponderEliminarHi Josse, I'm sorry for everything you went through, I feel that in my case it was something similar
