Am i the only one?

Easter has never been a big deal for me. As a kid we would dye eggs and eat candy and that was fun. Then we'd go to church which was kiddie torture. so boring.  since about 16 i have never really done anything on Easter. Its just another sunday for me.

But boy i seem  to really be in the minority here. I feel like i can't even express that for fear of offending friends and loved ones. Some people are even quoting the bible on FB and it just makes me a little uncomfortable. don't get me wrong, i believe in God. I know right from wrong. But i'm just not into organized religion. i've seen too many over the top religious nuts using religion for hatred that i got really turned off to it in  my teens. i don't feel comfortable being preached to or being in a situation where people are getting very religious around me. makes me very uneasy. but i don't ever force my beliefs on others. if you have religious beliefs and you use it in positive ways i say good for you. you do what you do. i'm not an atheist or anything. i don't go around telling people there's no god and that they're foolish. i think thats  disrespectful. and besides, like i said, i believe in God myself.

anyway i just felt the need to express these feelings on my blog since if i did it anywhere else i might offend friends and family.

when i have kids i'll celebrate easter. but just the egg decorating, candy eating, fun part. i won't make my kids go to church because its not even something i believe in and my husband and i both talk about how bored we were in church and how it never did anything for us. if our children are curious and want to go to church, we'll take them. but i think we'll make our own easter traditions.
