A conversation with my sister

[MommaSquid]

Brandon, you are brave to tackle this issue with your family.  

My brother converted from Roman Catholic to some flavor of Baptist about 8 years ago.  He would probably not allow me into his house if he knew I was an atheist.  (He is fond of saying "this is a Christian household" when visitors get out of line.)  The last time I visited he invited me to attend church with them and I politely declined.  He told me I needed to "get right with God", and I said I didn't think that was going to happen.  Pretty vague, I know, but I didn't want to get thrown out on the street in my nightgown.  I suppose there will come a day when I'll have to spell it out for him (a-t-h-e-i-s-t) but that day hasn't arrived yet.

Keep us updated, Brandon.  I hope all goes well.

Thanks for the support.  I am certain this isn't over.  She wasn't expecting the response and now she is regrouping.  I know her to well to think she'd let this go.
