But once they grow to a certain age they express their inner frustrations from the past by repudiating and renouncing everything they encounter bearing the label of religion. Religion is a matter of Love, which should be allowed to grow with affection. I am told that in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the shopkeepers are required to close their shops during the prayer hours, by the strictly enforced Laws. In Afghanistan, the soldiers wield their sticks to make the reluctant Afghanis enter the House of Allah for their daily prayers. The parents who are used to the pressure technique at home may see nothing unbecoming or inappropriate in such regimentation.
Extremity ends up with regretful results.
Moderation is the key word. Literally speaking, Atheism means the repudiation or renunciation of Theism. The term itself denotes it nature, which is to deny and reject. It seems that this young fellow is testing your knowledge as well as the limitations of your endurance and patience. To you, your every response may sound a valid incontrovertible proof but he may be looking far ahead of you, which may be beyond your imagination.
