Logan has done a beautiful job in answering this question for me. I almost felt I didn't need to reply.Would I be upset if they chose a different faith? - most definitely. Would I love them less. Absolutely not!!! The Bible says "train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it." My husband is quick to point out to me the words "when he is old." In other words most children and people in general go through phases and changes in their lives. He feel that what this is saying that they may have the inclination to depart from what they were taught as children, but the seed has taken root and will not die but rather take hold and bear fruit as they mature. Fortunately for me I really don't have to worry as my children are grown and have embraced our faith and believe it for themselves wholeheartedly. I couldn't vote because I wouldn't be mad, but I sure would have been sad.
