that you are gay or that you don't think you need love of Jesus?
My parents - sadly - aren't around animore to do the Litmus test, but they would have dealt with both. One thing I remember about my parents was their unconditional love for me and my brother and that they wanted the best for us in life. Without having done the talk, they were well aware that I'm no religious person. In fact it was my father setting me off on the path that ultimately led to my atheism. Even when I was very little, he took me to the museum of natural history and explained to me that Dinosaurs used to live millions of years ago. We also went to the shores of the primeval ocean that was right on our doorstep and I used to collect fossilized shells.
