We know him from our area- he is at a community college. His mother pushes him mercilessly. We have not been really impressed by his intellect.
Know him also. He's actually got the most grounded parents of any prodigy I've ever known of. She's
not pushing him, she's obviously just trying to help him reach his true potential. I know for a fact that they are more worried about him being with kids his own age than his academics, but the kid's mind just gets bored in a normal school.
So True. Religion is dying and a relationship with Jesus Christ is alive and well. May this young man become all that God the Father intended him to be.
People are getting smarter as religion dies a violent, bloody death. It's about time.
How do you know he is not religious? What if he finds his personal "God" to be his motivation for success? If that is the case then, o well for you.
His first frat party is going to be a blast.. if the jocks don't put him in the fish bowl first!!
