Dilettante was baptized
& brought up Catholic.
He was instructed in religion as a child
& throughout boyhood & youth.
But at eighteen, he left,
Dilettante.
He left college in the middle of his sophomore year,
no longer believing any of the things he had been taught.
Judging from various memories,
he had never believed very seriously.
Just trusted in those who taught him,
& what they taught.
The trust was unstable.
When Dilettante was eleven,
J. P. Snook, now long since dead,
came to call on Dilettante,
only to announce that there was no God,
& that everything we were being taught
was, in his words,
a crock of shiznit.
This was in 1991.
Dilettante took great interest in the news.
A great discussion ensued.
Mama Dilettante & Papa Dilettante
& the entire Dilettante family became very excited,
& took the news as something very enthralling
& entirely possible.
