[QUOTE="TerryJ2, post: 648122, member: 3419"] I think that the point you make is valid--many of our difficult children are rebelling against rules and society and religion. I'm a nonbeliever and base my philosophy on reason as best I can. It's a lot of hard work and I have found, as these notes show, that many atheists are sloppy atheists because they do believe in something, and they only believe what they want. They don't want to do the hard work of thinking everything through. It's a lot easier to diss society in general with the so-called insult, "I'm an atheist." My son has gone through several stages and will surely go through several more. With a nonbelieving mom and a Southern Baptist dad, he's certainly not forced into anything, lol! I was raised Catholic, so husband and I have had a few "inappropriate" dinnertime discussions, which difficult child pretended to not care about, but which he absorbed nonetheless. It's good to see all sides. Preferably, without heated debate or a lot of eye-rolling. I'm curious as to whether difficult children in societies like Russia or France or China, which are mostly secular (at least, that's what the govn't says), rebel and choose a religion? [/QUOTE]
