Fuck off I'm only 15 years of that age, and you know what I have learnt some people actually have minds of their own, and can have different views from me. Have you thought that these decrepit old codgers of yours might prise honesty as a virtue?
It's certainly been my experience that old folks don't have a problem with finding out their grandchildren are going to be tortured forever in hell. They typically take it with grace and aplomb.
Actually, the response I've been subjected to has been non-stop prosyletization every minute I spend with my 75-year-old father since my step-sister-in-law asked me if I'm a believer a few years ago. I was all about the integrity, but I'd take it back if I could. It wasn't worth spoiling my interactions with my father, probably for the rest of his life.
Just sayin'.

I'm sure she must have known, it isn't like I have had it hidden all my life, but when I actually said to her that I don't believe in god she didn't flip. She did, however, say "once a catholic, always a catholic"... so I think she is under the impression that because I was christened I can't be anything else.She is a bit crazy anyway.
My dad figures since I was baptized in the name of Jesus I won't be fooled by the antichrist. I'm gonna miss the Rapture, but I still gotta chance!
