[QUOTE="goldenguru, post: 109410, member: 1545"] My daughter went through this. She decided that she was an atheist - while she was raised on Christian values and ethics. Then she decided she wanted to study satanism. I drew the line and said "No satanic literature in our home thank you very much". I told her she would have to study it at the public library or coffee house. Long story short - I do believe it was a phase. As was her 'goth' dress and dark music. I tried to maintain open conversations. I tried hard to love her in spite of the theological divide - I tried hard to not overtly disapprove. Bottom line - it was a phase. She was trying to differentiate herself from her family. This is a very normal adolescent behavior. Albeit hard to watch, but normal none the less. Fast forward three years. She once again embraces her Christian heritage - more tightly now because she has made it her own and not just her families. Hang in there. Insist that he remain respectful. The best way to do that is to model respect to him. [/QUOTE]
