Religion lost as you grew up ?
I wanted to start a thread to get peoples insights and stories about religion as they have been growing up, and specifically if they have really gone off the beaten path, or become an even stronger observer:
I'll start....I'm jewish, forced into jewish schools my whole life...double curriculum, and class ends at 6:30pm, and began at 7:30 am for praying. I had to attend half a day school on sunday, and stay late Thursday nights for seminars. I had this for 4 years in high school, and was exceptionally opposed to it the entire time.
I was also in a single sex school, and we all know how horny teens can be. I was then forced to spend a year in Israel, forced!!
Now, I am sort of resenting my religion, and no longer keep any aspects of it. It is not a question of faith. I believe in g-d, I just do not agree with the majority of principles in judaism. Perhaps once I am married, and have not been forcefed anything I will veer a little back..
Anyone wanna share their experiences ?
