Really enjoyed this post, Michael as I am often faced with the same. All of my parents and siblings have become more outspoken and devout as of late and I worry that it will create gulfs between us, especially as it pertains to the raising of my son. I don't know if they will afford me the same respect your father does you, but I am hoping there is no change to our now caring and close relationship if they were to learn how far I've strayed from their flock.
