Woo-hoo!</p><p>That said, Anthony, you have something in common with my mom. She was raised by Pentecostal Christians as well, and like you eventually grew away from it. When she was raising her 5 children, she basically said, "I believe there is a God. And He loves you. If you want me to take you to church, fine. If not, fine." She still doesn't go to church. But she definitely has a faith, even if a lot of the pentecostals and the religious right in this country would disagree.</p><p>Personally, I have taken to calling myself an Orthodox Eclectic. (Sue Monk Kidd's Secret Life of Bees. Great book.)</p><p>Christine</p>ChristineWed, 23 Aug 2006 22:16:05 -0000http://www.cosmictap.com/can-you-wear-jesus-jammies-to-a-purity-ball/#comment-1339727<p>I wonder if there is an open bar at this event?</p>Easy EdWed, 23 Aug 2006 19:16:50 -0000
