A Human's tale

[Paul the Human]

Do I regret coming out? No. Not for one second. I would rather be true to myself and honest with my mother, than lie and hide the truth... even if that truth is uncomfortable for her. She knows that I do not believe and she does not go out of her way to rub religion in my face or to re-convert me. I finally learned to return the favor and our relationship has fully recovered. Now and then something will come up and we will both speak our thoughts on it and then move on before it goes far enough to reopen any wounds. We may not respect each other's beliefs, but we respect each other and our relationship enough to keep the peace. Family bonds are supernaturally strong.
