I fear having to explain to my daughter why grandma thinks the devil is in me. I have told my mother to spread the word that if I ever hear of anyone in the family making any mention of my lack of religion, they will not be a part of my zoe's life. My family is well aware of my disbelief in god and is very angered by it. I can envision them saying things like "we pray for the devil to get out of me" to my daughter just to get at me, not considering how it might affect zoe or her feelings toward me. I want my daughter to be educated in science and religion so she can draw her own conclusions (i just hope she doesn't fall in love with a mormon boy and jaunt off to some obscure country to help excavate some cave or anything).
