Anyway, I was explaining something to do with me not believing in any gods and she replied like this:
Gran: Once a Catholic, always a Catholic...
Me: But, I never was a Catholic.
Gran: Of course you were, we are Catholic, so you are as well.
Me: That doesn't make much sense.
Gran: Doesn't matter, you are still a Catholic.
She is a treat to talk to about religion, but I don't do it often because holding the laughs back can be pretty hard.
I can relate, I come from a very Christian family. Probably the most annoying thing for me is when I go to visit my cousins who seriously believe Earth is 6000 years old, we lived with dinosaurs, etc. I always can't help but feel sorry for them because their parents keep them home schooled, well 'protected' from reality.
I'll try to help them, but I have to do so in very quiet ways, since they are the kind of people that would go off and tell their parents if I said anything big against their religion. It seems hopeless...
