respect empress
i let i children see many things (religious/spiritual teachings) so that they can decide for themselves as they grow where they wish to go. the only think i wish to make out of i kids is a thinking human being.
see -- i was the opposite of you -- i was taught "a way" as a youth and had to work myself out of it as i grew -- so i could become who i was meant to be --not what i parents wanted me to be.
rasta has much beauty in it, but so do many other spiritual paths.
