What’s the moment you stopped believing in god? “Honor thy father and mother,” are words literally written in stone - hanging in southern courthouses in glistening marble. Words that mean so much to people, they’ll die to protect them.

We take what mothers and fathers say as the gospel, because the gospel itself tells us to. But is there honor in the burdens we carry for them throughout our own lives? Is there honor in words that carry the weight of centuries of mothers and fathers?
