Sev, this post just reminded me again about why we're friends and why you are awesome.
My parents are deeply deeply old world Chinese who converted to very strict Christianity when they were younger and believe a LOT of things that I don't. I used to, when I was young, because "that's how I was raised." As I grew old, left home, BECAME AN ADULT SOB, I learned that what my parents believe was because of how they saw the world and that was NOT how I saw the world.
I don't blame my parents, and I don't in any way think they should stop believing what they believe, but it doesn't work for me.
