Well, he said...let me think. He said: 'You realise you have to give all that up, don't you? You have other priorities now.' And then he mentioned my oath, and that no one comes before Our Lord and that He ought to be my only god.
Only of course, the thing is that our gods don't work like that. Not exactly. I mean, there are hundreds of them, for one thing, and none of them are the most important compared to any other--I mean, some are more powerful or more important than others, naturally, but it's more like your saints, in a way. So of course Our Lord comes first (I mean, I told him as much).
And it's not as if I would ever not prioritise Our Lord's orders above observing Diwali (that's the one with the lights) or anything like that.
So I think maybe it's just that he doesn't understand how it fits.
But then the question is how to convince him that it's not as important as he thinks it is. I guess you're right and maybe a first step is to not mention it. Only it's not fair that
Thanks.
What have you been working on? If you can say, that is.
