My daughter is dating an atheist

She also figured out the hard way that not every “first” is one you’ll want to tuck into a scrapbook.

My daughter’s fourth-grade year bought a slew of firsts.I wanted it to work out so badly but sometimes it just doesn't.I do think that it can possibly work out for people but a lot of times the lens that an atheist and a believer views the world through is just too different.I knew exactly what my child would catch hell for, if you’ll excuse the terrible pun.Yet anticipating what was coming didn’t make it any easier to overhear her conversation with a soccer teammate after practice one day when my 10-year-old locked her eyes with her cleats and mumbled about a little girl in class who hated her.

Many people in my church are in mixed faith relationships, including even my Vicar.
