childhood?

1 being not at all
10 being completely

hrm. Well I was raised in an agnostic secular jewish home. I'm currently a Christ follower but consider myself messianic since I still uphold many Jewish traditions.

So I guess I'd have to say 0 in terms of spiritually following judaism, but really more of a 4 since I still incorporate judaica traditions and culture into my Christian based faith.

0 - not at all

editing to add i was raised christian.

0 here, too.

Amphitrite · 10-14-2006, 09:53 PM

1 here - I'm currently searching but still feel a tiny draw toward the Pentecostal church I was raised in. A teeny tiny draw, not much

I was raised in a Christian home, and I'm still in a Christian home. That's not to say my faith hasn't grown and changed. Of course it has.

I'm going to say 2.

I would say 1 (not at all), but I do feel a cultural connection.

Raised LDS, currently nothing in particular (though I'd claim a christian orientation). Religions that appeal to me are Unitarian, Liberal Quaker, and Episcopalin.

8c- I was raised Roman Catholic and am now a Byzantine Catholic.

10, I was raised Christian and am still Christian. I left God in my teens and came back about 5yrs ago. I didn't take on a different belief, but didn't follow what I was taught and now believe.

Pretty much the complete opposite

raised non-denominational christian, now am pagan.

Rebecca, that 2 seems awfully generous. You must eat a lotttttttt of green jello to earn that!

I would say 1 personally, though I am way more embedded in the LDS church than you are. You asked about "faith commitment" though and there is none for me at this point. However, I do have children who are adamant about remaining LDS, and I support them completely. I also let home teachers come b/c they are our neighbors/close friends and provide an excellent LDS example to my kids who are believers. I put off the VT's though, and am ready to tell them "no mas." I go to ward functions as my children desire.

All that said... the ex is now taking over the spiritual side and taking them to church each Sunday. He couldn't stop masturbating and porning it up long enough to try and save our marriage yrs ago, but now I'm a horrible mother who's "lost the light of Christ" or some other sh!t, and that's how I'm being judged. Yep. My entire mothering lies solely on my roll on a church list.

Ok, I realllllllllllllly got off there sorry! I know you'd understand the LDS stuff though.

I would say 7 in that I am still attending and living the gospel in the church I was raised in, but I am more liberal in how I interpret and live the teachings now.

10.

I may live out my faith a bit differently than my parents, but it's the same faith.

ETA: I did have to come to a place where the faith really became my OWN, yk? I find that my faith is really community-based and it's stronger b/c of the community I live in (Intentionally).

EmoMom · 10-15-2006, 07:10 PM

Pretty much a zero. We were Keesters for the most part, but Christian. Now I'd have to say that I'm more committed to our pagan lifestyle than my family was ever committed to Christianity. Maybe that's why they're pretty cool with our paganism.
