My dad is still Christian Scientist. My mom's not, and I'm not. But I believe in God, and that there's a higher power and an intelligence that's bigger than us and that we can rely on. It's not just us, thinking we are the ones in control of everything. That idea gives me support.

Summary

While their father identifies as a Christian Scientist and their mother and themselves do not, they still hold onto a belief in God and a larger force that provides support and guidance. They view this belief as a source of comfort, as it allows them to trust in something beyond themselves and not solely rely on their own abilities to control everything.
