Reply #126: I could have written a similar letter 30 years ago [View All]

My family had decided since my birth that I would become a Roman Catholic priest. When I rejected the path they had chosen for me, I was smeared and jeered to the extent that a few years ago I could not tolerate their condemnations any longer. I was kicked out of the family when they realized I was a Democrat. To this day I shudder to think of how they would have reacted if they had discovered I was an atheist.
