[QUOTE="SeekingStrength, post: 647774, member: 17635"] This makes me sad and I think about it every day and pray. It is huge & sad for husband and me. We are Christians, Lutheran denomination, though we currently attend a Methodist church. difficult child was baptized and raised in one church. He was quite active as a youth. Somewhere along the line, he became an avid/angry atheist. His profile on a well known social network is [I]Socialist, Atheist, Political Science degree. [/I]He never passes up an opportunity to discount Christianity. Our ex-pastor has a son who is also an atheist. The pastor commented once that it is interesting when somebody spends so much time disavowing Jesus. They don't argue the Easter Bunny or the Tooth Fairy. That gave me pause. Why the intense anger toward Christianity and wanting to convince everybody else? I wish difficult child believed. Obviously, I would want that to be Christianity. To believe in a higher power might really help difficult child. Certainly, my faith has gotten me through many a rough spot. It has been the biggest help with dealing with difficult child. Granted, our two easy child's do not go to church, except once in a great while. But, they believe. [/QUOTE]
