the British Empire fell with World War II and the spirit and soul were decimated along with the bombings of the infrastructure.
Educated Brits fled to America in a wave referred to as the “Brain Drain.” That included my mother and father.
the mood was futility. At worst, cynicism and sarcasm. As a UK/US dual national living outside outside Cambridge, Mass. in 1984, in a fit of serious depression, I was deemed “biting and sarcastic.”
a pimp I talked to at length at the Port Authority when I was running away from home at age 16 asked if I believed in God. I said, “My parents are atheists.”
just like I always used to say, “my parents are British.” I didn’t know what to say about myself.
just now, I figured out my bind, I know how to say it. I was told that Jesus was a man who said he was God. And that God doesn’t exist. !???
You can only imagine what I would have thought about Mary the Mother Ever Virgin.
I now understand snd forgive myself for so many things. I have been an infant Christian in a person with a mind of a 10-year-old.
