You're right that there are no easy answers. I had a girlfriend who once criticized me for not raising my children within a spiritual atmosphere (my belief is that the kid needs to decide). That is as much my choice as yours is to raise yours in the Eastern Orthodox Church. Both choices are valid and neither should be criticized.

I did lay out what I consider to be an important distinction and I did it deliberately. We (you and I) believe that human life is sacred and nobody has a right to harm another. I also believe that we can critize those who practice such a harmful religion (I assume you do too). But to make that step we need to set out our distinctions.

There is a range of distinctions available to us from very conservative (they don't believe ABC the way I do) to very liberal (anything they do is OK as long as they do no harm). Do we have the right to stand in judgement of others?

Bear in mind that those from that other belief system also have the right to do the same with us. I can see myself being pilloried for not taking my children to church (as has happened to people in the past). I can see you and yours being harmed for not conforming to a particular system. Are we any better than those people? We say we are because we are against harm to others. We are right but are we RIGHT?
