I couldn't care less. I taught English here as my school owner friend wanted someone who was well versed in grammar and spoke in a native English manner. My fellow believers aren't brainwashed, as you can change your thinking even if your parents forced things down your throat, although it's harder if you took offense learning that way. Some turn their backs on God because their parents were abusive and used religion as a teaching by force practice, while others have lost a close family member to a stupid disease and blamed God for putting that disease here. It's actually very much a common sense thing, as a creator is more believable than a universe that just happened all by itself, from nothing, and a planet exactly the right distance from the sun, with everything life needs, all the different species and things that co-exist, with everything needed for life in one place. Believing in yourself is a great attitude, but thinking we all are here without a purpose leaves out hope for something beyond this pain riddled earth and all it's evil. Again, it's all a personal thing, as no one can help you get into heaven but yourself. My daughter is in a Thai school, that practices some praying to Buddha, a man, which doesn't help anyone. She believes in God and Jesus, and doesn't bow down to anyone or anything. They all know this and understand. I go to many funerals here with my girlfriend, as she works for the government and it's part of her job. When I'm there, I respect the service, fold my hands, and pray to God so this person might be shown mercy, while the others pray to Buddha. It's actually not going to help, as you must prepare yourself for the afterlife before you pass, and no one can pray you into heaven, but AI remain respectful and they appreciate it, as my girlfriend has been told many times, them knowing I'm a Christian.
