Welcome to The Not Old Better Show. I’m Paul Vogelzang, and this is episode #333.

As part of our continuing series on opinion and issues facing families today, we’re talking religion.

Yes, religion.

We’ve talked a lot about it before, and you can be assured, we’ll talk about it again.

No “redirecting the topic here, to be subtly polite.” You know what I mean, if someone brings it up, we’re taught to be polite by shifting the conversation to something unrelated, without being too obvious. Only, I tend to think it’s VERY OBVIOUS.

For example, imagine Uncle Bob says something like, “kids these days just aren’t going to church. It’s all that rock n’ roll they’re listening to. Right?” And, you might follow up with “speaking of kids, I’ve been meaning to ask: how’s your son doing at college?” Sheesh…not subtle at all.

So, we’ll dispense with that for today, and we’ll dispense with any “boomer vs millennial”…
