re: How many of you put your religion before everything else in life?

My mom puts God before everything.

I go back home at least once a month, and my kids almost always stay at my wifes parents since they drop everything they are doing to be with their grandkids for the weekend, while my mom is busy going to adoration, or singing in the choir at church which somehow doesn't count as going to church to her, or volunteering for something church related, or going to church.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with any of this, but she chooses to do these things over spending time with her grandkids knowing they are only down for the day and she won't see them for a few more weeks.

She almost missed the birth of my first born b/c she was hosting some church event at her house, before my dad finally made her realize how retarded she was.

She will give any homeless guy money b/c she says "you never know if that guy is Jesus"

just stupid. She's closer to God, but moves further and further away from her kids and grandkids b/c of it.

That's kinda what I'm going for in my post. Putting God above your own family is a bad thing and is some subtle form of child abuse.
