12. I've known a lot of kids from wildly different backgrounds
who dabbled in Christianity when they were in that terrible middle school through high school enforced conformity period of their lives. Most of them wisely discarded it when they got to college or got out in the world and conformity didn't mean so much any more.

Just tell him the truth, that you can help him set up the computer but you're probably not going to be the one to tell him what he needs to know about Christianity. Punt, in other words.

What happens now isn't likely to have that lasting an effect. Probably the most the Christian kids can expect from him is lip service.
