My dad (recently) apologised to me for raising me religiously. I told him not to worry. For some reason all four of his children decided that it was "not real" without any external influences at all. So he probably taught us how to think as well.

This is completely different from my "bigger family" where a cousin of mine recently did not want to come and visit me because I'm "Living in Sin" with my boyfriend. Never mind that I'm in a much happier/more stable relationship than with my ex-husband. We are living in sin...
Any spelling mistakes are due to my godlessness!
