Actually, my mother asked our pastor to visit my grandfather (with his approval) when he was 96 years old. The pastor called my mother afterwards to say that my grandfather was the most devout atheist he had ever met.
Thankfully, within two weeks, my grandfather had a complete turnaround!
Back on topic: I question whether all rituals
should be watered down so that everyone can tolerate it. I couldn't help but think that pktcougar made a similar point. Should a ritual be changed due to a handful of people, or should it remain true to its original form? That might be a concept of a completely different thread.
