Crazy old lady-just kidding, really
Okay so its weird that the older my mom gets the more religious she seems to get. The other day while sitting in the drive thru in my moms car I realized the extent to it. She has a rosary hanging from the rear view mirror and a little Jesus Christ thing on her glove compartment. Also she has been a eucharist minister for the last year or so, meaning she helps pass out the communion in mass. She also volunteers to teach catechism classes and says a little prayer before we leave somewhere in the car. Nothing is wrong with this, in fact its kind of nice, but weird. My mom may be sad to learn that I am an agnostic who is leaning toward atheism. Even still its a good thing for her. She didn't always used to be that religious, and I totally think it comes with age. Maybe that will be me some day (doubtful though).

yes kat....i did in fact read your blog..this morning actually but it wouldnt let me go back and post..so here im commenting. (you know who this is) first...aww..dont call your mom crazy..i thought you were gonna start saying she had an altar built in to her car or something. lets just hope she doesnt read your blog. =) the part of you becoming atheist ...it made me giggle..then i thought..is she really turning atheist. not that it would matter..you'd still be my friend no matter what..even if you sold your soul to the devil. heehee.
p.s. I ALWAYS love reading what you have to write. somehow i feel like you write differently than you speak sometimes..either way i love it. love ya! miss ya!
Do you think people get more religious as they get older in general? May this have to do with the fact they may think the day of their reconing is comming soon?
Do you think you would start being more religious (Ie. putting things in the lords hands) if you knew some sort of end was coming?
Yeah I think that maybe because they are getting older they are trying to come to grips with their mortality. Like make some sense of it all.
If I knew that the end was coming, and "put things in the lords hands" it would be out of desperation and panic maybe, for the wrong reasons. I would hope I wouldnt do that, because believing only when its good for me, would be kind of hypocritical. I might try to mend relationships or try to create better karma, well I had the time I guess.
