God very well did gift you with a talent but your parents made sure that you would resent that. I have 2 teenage sons and their mom, (my ex) tried to do the same thing to them. I believe that you teach your kids what you believe and let them decide what truth to follow. I have seen everything you talk about and I empathize with you. Welcome to the world and let me know if I can help you in any way. I know I am an old guy and as far as my kids are concerned I dont know anything, but I will let you in on a little secret. I know somethings. I do know people cant be led by the nose to church and expect them to enjoy or embrace it. As far a musical taste, there is alot of "Christian" punk,ska,metal,rock,and even rap(DC Talk the early days). The music is the same just the message in the lyrics is a bit different. Like I said, hookup with me if you ever need to talk. Take care Hammy.

You are only coming through in waves, your lips move but I cant hear what you're saying.:cool:
