Specifically, I'm interested in hearing from all of you about your religious upbringing or other home-grown value system. What relationship is there between the values your family tried to instill in you (or that you simply grew up with one way or another) and your current values? Catherine started us off on this thread with her description of her faith and its role in making her who she is today. What about the rest of you? Did you rebel against your religious upbringing or grow into it, or something else entirely? Did you even have a religious upbringing? For those of you who (like me) did not, did you feel that as an absence? Did something else fulfill some of the same needs religion does for others?
And, for those of you with kids, how are you raising (did you raise) them? What is your vehicle for imbuing your values into your offspring? How do you mold their young minds, as it were?
I know that the people already listed over there on the right represent some pretty different backgrounds, religions, generations, etc. Please share with the group -- I think we can all learn a lot from the exchange.
(I'm bumping this up to make sure everyone sees it . . .)
