Much needed advice. I need more atheist friends.

RE: Much needed advice. I need more atheist friends.
This may sound an odd thing to say, but perhaps you should have faith that your son will find his way to your truth in the end. You managed to work through your conditioning and and I suspect you are a better, stronger more balanced person for it. I don't feel that the role of a parent is to protect your child from bad influences/situations, but rather to try to develop the strength of character to deal with them. You don't have to home school to introduce them to good science, you can do that at evenings and weekends. Education is not about teaching them what to learn but how to learn. Impart that and he will make his own path. It will be different to yours and have some bumps along the way.

Parenthood. The hardest job in the world. There's no training and by the time you get the experience you don't need it any more!

Through victory, my chains are broken."
