I was lucky, my Mum sent me to Sunday school once, partly because she thought maybe she'd get Sundays off (

), and partly because she thought I should at least be introduced to the concept to decide if I liked it or not.
My parents never discussed any beliefs with my while I was growing up. I guess that's partly why I am always searching and open to new opinions and such. I get a little lost and confused at times but on the whole I agree with many of the responses here. I can feel spiritual without institutions, I don't believe I will be sent to the great pits for not attending institutions or participating in their rituals... besides, wouldn't that make me very hypocritical to attend and not fully accept the institution or the rituals, based on the fact that I don't want to be sent to the pits in the hereafter if it's actually true? (you know, a just in case thing
