Mar 16	comment	How do I tell my parents I'm no longer Christian? @DA01 It sometimes helps, when analyzing other people's motives, to try to look at things from their point of view. To a person who truly believes in the reality of hell, supporting a child who is determined to go there might be a terrible disservice to the child, literally the worst possible thing that could be done for them.

Mar 15	comment	How do you respond to a teenager who has started to smoke? Do you give them money? Cigarrettes are extremely expensive in the US, and illegal to purchase for under 18s.
