My view is this - do the best you can, try to always do what's right, and if you can do that the rest will fall into place

My wife is Catholic. Just tossing that in - she has been taking the kids to church school but I don't plan on trying to push anything on them except for the views stated in the paragraph above this one.

I was not taken to church by my parents either but did go to sunday school with my brother who was 2 years older than me for a few years so I'm not the person Mr. Fisher is looking for... I do however believe we all have an inherent set of scruples and a conscience that guides us to what we think is right or wrong regardless of any religious background we might or might not have... These values seem to vary widely from person to person as we do seem to have individuals who seemingly have no conscience... Most folks think it is wrong to kill another person but then keep firearms for that very reason... "Thou shalt not kill" doesn't seem to leave room for killing folks no matter what the reason... I don't believe a person needs religion in his life to have a decent set of morals and the ability to know right from wrong in most cases.
