If I could go back in time, I would have loved to inform my father that I am an atheist.
I wonder if he would have acted less harsh to that news than he did to the fact that I was a Pentacostal Christian, rather than the Catholic I was raised as, praying for his alcoholic soul.
One night he actually grabbed me by the throat and held me against the wall because I stated that I was going to pray for his soul. He was just as religious as me, but I suppose he took offense because of his alcoholism.
