I was raised as an American Baptist (supposedly more liberal than Southern Baptist), we could dance and play cards..

We only occasionally attended a small American Baptist Church and we did dance and play cards at youth group meetings. I went to week long summer church camp for two summers and enjoyed it, I even had a girl friend (sort of, we ate together and walked around a bit). I never really took to the religious parts only the social parts of church. I grew up to be the agnostic/atheist leaning person of my old age. I'm not worried, I've been a good person...I've been to a Unitarian Universalist Church a few times and also attended a Unity Church of Christ..I liked them okay, I liked the open spirituality of the Unity Church while the UU Church was more of a help group for others...different likes for different folks..
