That's very considerate of you. But why?

I guess I'm an agnostic. One of my favorite bible quotes is "what is truth". Truth and $2 will buy a cup of black coffee at Starbucks (maybe Smile )

If believing in Christianity adds value to a person's life, then why should I destroy that? Christianity does have negative effects on my mother, but probably the positives outweigh them. If I could convince her to become a strong atheist, then eventually she might be happy, but the transition would be long and traumatic.
