Loathe as i am to get too deep into this but a couple of things have stuck out at me. First you say you would be disappointed if your daughter chose not to follow a chriatian faith Russ but why if after thinking about it and reasoning it out for herself she chose to be whatever why would you be disappointed.

Secondly you seem to infer that having faith has made you a better person, i put it to you that good and bad people are that regardless of anything. They are what they are and having faith of any form will not turn a bad person to the good or lack of faith a good person to bad your a decent person because you choose to be and would continue to be that way if you were not a christian.

Amongst my small social circle i am regarded as trustworthy, decent, fair and honest and all that with the complete abscence of faith of any sort. People need to start seeing themselves rather then putting a tag on or putting good attributes down to something other then self no faith no matter how benign or benevolent will change a person unless they choose to do so beforehand.

Thats what we all need to embrace our humanity in all it's forms not just those told to us by any book or doctrine and to realise that good and bad are choices we make they are not predetermined or destined.
