I've been on the other thread about talking to people about your religion.

As many of you, I was raised Catholic and went to Catholic schools. My fathers take on religion is "If every religon is wrong but your own, why does everyone look up when refering to their God?" Because of this belief, when I turned 13 he told me that he raised me Catholic to give me a stepping stone. Now that I was old enough to make my own decisions, I was old enough to decide what religion is right for me. I've stayed with the Catholic religon only because I haven't really looked into any other religion and also because my mother still gives me looks when I mention I might be interested in going to so-and-so's church on Sunday.

I've had my own cousin tell me I'm going to hell because I'm in a MCGLO because trying to unite cultures means worshiping false gods. She was raised Catholic just like me, but recently became Born Again, leff the church and then became penacostal (?). BTW is is also a member of my org too!

I think if you want to inform others of your religion, it should be welcomed by that person. I do believe in telling others what you believe in...we try to recruit for our GLO all the time, but you would never push your org on someone...because they might not be right for it or it might not be right for them.
