3. Swear to god?!
Sat Dec 27, 2025, 10:43 AM
Saturday

12 years of catholic school, agnostic here. My soon to be 18 year old daughter would probably fit that mold, although she does go to some Jewish holiday services. The only catholic/christian services are funerals.

She’s an amazing kid who works tirelessly to help fundraise and do food drives for the less fortunate. No fear of hell compelling her.

I’m a proud papa! 😀
