When my oldest was 17, he was making plans for a halloween party and despite the fact we attend mass every Sunday, that he had been baptized, taken first communion, and been confirmed - he said he was going to dress as Jesus.
My wife was horrified. I handled the discussion a little more calmly - he was nearly an adult. His decisions - and the repercussions of them - were soon going to be his own. We raised him to believe in God, but as an adult - even though he *was* confirmed - his faith would also be his own path.
I just wanted to hear from him *why* he thought it was a good idea... “Just trying to be edgy and funny.” It was a good talk - rather than me just *telling* him he was wrong, he got there himself and decided on a Homer Simpson costume instead.
But - he was 17. And 17 year-olds think they know everything despite often not thinking too much; I remember being that age too.
DJT is not 17 and needs to stop acting like it.

There is a saying: The older I get, the wiser my father becomes.
Very true!
