[QUOTE="Beanieboy, post: 76299571, member: 138244"] I've often felt the same about Lutheran Confirmation. You take extra Sunday School-like classes, and then confirm at 14 that you will follow Jesus, followed by a reception at your house and cash gifts. Once confirmed, a number of people that were in my Sunday School classes since I was 3 or 4 suddenly stop coming to church after the confirmation, or come at Christmas and Easter. But what are you going to say to your parents if you don't believe in God anymore? For that matter, I have always had a relationship with God, but had to read my essay about why I have decided to follow Jesus It was full of fluff. I wrote things to sound serious, to sound deep, to impress my family listening, but none of it really came from the heart because I didn't know what following Jesus or confirming my faith meant. It was simply something that I always knew, like my gramma baking kringla. [/QUOTE]
