My mom actually says things like, "You certainly believed back when...(insert story of my youth)", as if one can't stop believing at some point. My Grandma says that I believe, but I'm denying it to myself. I will let myself believe again some day.

I leave them to it. It makes them happier to hold on to that, I guess.

I suppose it might allow them to avoid the uncomfortable thoughts of you going to hell.
