re: #195 Obdicut

My parents know that I’m an atheist, but they simply cheerfully hold out hope for a deathbed conversion for me, and otherwise it doesn’t really affect our conversations.

I think it’s easier for the parents whose children become less religious, even though very few people who become less religious then become more religious again.

heh.
My daughter’s boyfriend was raised Catholic, but claims now to be an atheist.

I’m not even his parent but I hold out hope he will return to the fold.

Whatever - he’s a nice kid, and I like him regardless.
