(33,982 posts)But neither attempted to even speak to me about god, for reasons I can only assume go back to some kerfuffle between my father an the catholic church. He wanted to have my older brother and I baptized, and the catholic priest said no, that my mom, and brother and I were all going to hell because we weren't catholic, and my dad told him he'd see HIM in hell, and never went back.
He remained a catholic, and unbeknownst to me, actually said nightly prayers up to the point cancer at so much of him away he couldn't kneel by the bed, but he never attempted to even suggest faith to me, as a thing I should look into or whatever.
Mom didn't either. She's an atheist now too, without belief in god, but oddly, won't identify as an atheist, but not a discussion we ever get into.
