I don't think it's too late for her. I think that'll run its course of action. Young people are interesting (being one myself...young that is). We are easily influenced into believing something we don't entirely believe in, or we lead ourselves to believe that this one thing is so important that we must ignore what our parents have taught us and accept this messagae as the only thing that matters.
I'm Lutheran, just like fatmanforprez. I'm proud of it, it's what i was raised. I've taken some interesting standpoints in my years of thinking for myself. As a child....well i thought like a child, i took everything at face value and that satisfied the religion portion of my life. As I went into my teens I went from very liberal, to very conservative and back again, and back again...very very odd. At one point I decided that all gay ppl didn't deserve the love of God, and a few years later, my ideals changed, and so on and so forth. I now ride the middle of the road very very carefully. It lets me believe what i want to believe and take political standpoints that are both very liberal and very conservative, and .....funny enough...lets me make fun of both sides :-)
