...neither one will likely ever become Orthodox. Both believe in God but for different reaasons (cognitive disability in the case of my father, and a spiritually abusive upbringing in the case of my mom) neither feel comfortable with organized religion. However my dad is happy if I'm happy and my mom donates money and labor to the church (painting, advertising and such). I've come far enough in my faith to believe that our judgement depends on what is in our hearts rather than if we simply recite an eight-word Christian shahada anyway.
