Religion

Well to be honest i'm not that religious. I don't go to church or anything like that but do believe in God. I don't preach it to my children to me it's something they will make their own decisions about, just as I did. My Dad's a Catholic and mum's a Christian but we wont go there. I don't push my beliefs on to others and wish they wouldn't do that to me or my children for that matter. My daughter's nearly 13 and studies R.E at school much to my annoyance, (i'd prefer her to study something she will actually use when she leaves school) but today she has come home with a letter stating she HAS to go to a Sikh temple and she has to pay. I'm not completely against this but i am like, Why??? She doesn't want to go, from what she says most of the class don't want to go and if there are any Sikhs in the class don't they already go????
Well in my opinion she isn't going to benefit from this experience and she shouldn't HAVE to do this. Ok this isn't really being too religious but i need to rant about this one!

I do think that religion has a lot to answer for, and people take it to extremes. Why do people feel the need to knock on doors to preach their beliefs. Don't they think that if others wanted to know about it they would find out about it in their own time and go to the church etc on their own. Even walking around Birmingham is a nightmare as there are always people stood round with boards preaching about God. Infuriating or what, all I want to do is shop not be harassed by some random with nothing better to do than exercise his vocal chords. In my opinion this puts me off religion not draws me to it.
