My Mom and I had a long talk about religion not long ago. I actually talked HER, the woman who shoved Christianity down my throat, into finding her way back to a kinder, gentler Christianity. She was having some doubts-let's face it there are some pretty hypocritical things going on out there in the Christian Right Wing but I showed her how to look past those things and cling to the things that SHE believes. In the meantime I was able to convey to her some of my beliefs. Amazingly, she's thinks my faith is such a peaceful, natural belief system that she has since defended to me to several of our zealot relatives. Now I haven't actually mentioned the "W" word, thought that might kill her dead but as easily as she accepted Pagan I guess I could have just gone right on and let her know the whole thing. Recently, there's been talk about the relatives each going in together to buy me a plane ticket so they could bring me to Florida and "intervene" me. LOL! Much as Mom wants to see me she put the kabosh on that right now.
