    ... said my very handsome 16-year old g'son.

    He's the Obama-look-alike whose drawings leave people in awe.

    Why doesn't that upset me?

    Thanks to all who have let me know that it's ok to express disbelief in a Creator.

    Let me re-phrase my last sentence.

    My thanks to those who have let me know that there's no need to get upset if a person expresses disbelief in a creator.

    Don't forget "independent-thinking and intelligent."

    If there were a God like the one you believe in, he would love good people no matter how much solid evidence they overlooked and believed in him or how much solid evidence they didn't overlook and didn't believe in him.

    I believe there IS a God like the one you describe, OTWO.

    And, He has been doing just what you describe.

    Hallelujah!

    There's not even any need to be upset about any kind of belief or the absence of beliefs. Why would you get upset at your son? He's still your son and you love him.

    We can look at it this way: People are going to define themselves by their beliefs, but we don't have to define them that way. Why should we, if we don't believe in those ideas?

    Exactly!

    Thank you!

    However, I've seen the times when I would have read him the riot act.

    He's my grandson, by the way.
