Day 14 – someone you’ve drifted away from

Dear L,

I'm going to have to mellow my stance on religion.  My rigid atheism, and your changing stance on faith is straining our friendship, and it hurts.

I don't want to.  I don't believe in faith, I still see it as something that people use to help themselves to feel better about their place in the world, and I wish that there was more self-awareness about that.

All things being said, though, I really want to be a part of your life, and arguing with you, and those around me about faith isn't really part of what I want to spend my time doing.

I need to talk about this stuff as theory though. Thanks.  Even conversing with you in a letter is enlightening.  I miss you.

L.
