My Dearest Aunt,
      I'd like to entertain you with an English lesson. Today we are going to learn what the words Atheist, and Agnostic mean.

Atheist –noun
       1. a person who denies or disbelieves the existence of a supreme being or beings.

Agnostic –noun
       1. a person who holds that the existence of the ultimate cause, as god, and the essential nature of things are unknown and unknowable, or that human knowledge is limited to experience.
       2. a person who denies or doubts the possibility of ultimate knowledge in some area of study.

Notice the lack of words in the sentences above. Can you tell me what words you didn't see? Let's name a few shall we?

Extremist, Violence, Hate, Corrupt, Damnation, Intolerance...

Let me get to the point...

Maybe you didn't see all of that, because you were so concerned with your own Religion and Intolerance. But I'm trying to give you the benefit of the doubt and am just assuming you don't know what those words mean. Here's a word of advice. Before you go "concerning yourself" with issues that are none of your business, I suggest you get your facts straight.

I am no different then the same girl you went on a cruise with. The daughter of your sister, whose home you've stayed in multiple occasions. Your Niece, who looked up to you and saw a fun woman who knew how to have a good time.

I don't care if you don't like my religious views. Maybe I don't like the way you've raised your children. I don't write you an e-mail saying I'm "uncomfortable" with your parenting skills. No. I mind my own damn business.

Let's have one more English lesson for the day shall we?

Tolerance –noun
      1.a fair, objective, and permissive attitude toward those whose opinions, practices, race, religion, nationality, etc., differ from one's own; freedom from bigotry.

Sincerely,
      Your 16 year old,
             Confused,
                   Agnostic,
                        Or Maybe Atheist,
                             Niece
