If you really believe A, why would you react like statement B?

Because it is more about culture for his parents than it is about religion. In accepting Jesus Christ, Bobby went against his parents' cultural expectations. In a larger sense, the stress between immigrant parents and their more "Americanized" children can get pretty intense. This story is a good example of how that can play out.

If their culture trumps their religion, then they really don’t believe “A”, which was my point in the beginning.
