Did anyone see last nights episode of bad lads army? It had a guy in his late teens that had the guts to refuse to go into the chaple services on grounds that he was a LaVeyan satanist.
Most of the kids on the show have behavioural problems or criminal records and are there to try to change there ways or were sent there in the hope that it would. This kids only crime seemed to be being a satanist.
It sounds like he'd explained it quite well to his mum but she still didn't like it. she said 'I think its something to do with looking out for yourself but I think it might be at the expense of others.' So instead of grousing about her son's beliefs why not try reasoning with him that having some consideration of others does benefit you too. Don't try to enforce morality on the lad try to teach him why you have particular morals. You may even learn something about yourself in the process.
The lad did get out of the service and ended up painting kerb stones instead. After trying to explain his beliefs to a rather unsympathetic RP sergeant.
