As they say, If you don't use it, you lose it. What happens when you park a car for over a year without starting it? With time it will never start, and the brain is a machine also. Age is not the concluding factor, as I have four grandparents around that age whose minds work wonderfully. They are very active mentally, and still quite sharp at rational thought. I have some great-grandparents whose minds are fairly inactive and have suffered "rusted mind syndrome" for quite some time now.
Motivate him to engage in frequent mental "exercises" like chess, in hopes of oiling, restarting, and re-sharpening his mind.

You do comprehend no person is surely an atheist fundy, good? the sole people who definitively declare there is not any god are people who rather hate the theory altogether. Even then, i've got self assurance, they nonetheless have self assurance in it because of the fact of a few terrible stressful adventure of their existence and that they only experience like blaming something, they only don`t recognize what. So, they only blame the god that became indoctrinated into their youthful, malleable minds because of the fact they so firmly have self assurance that nature wouldn`t fvck them over because it did. Canadian `eh hollow.

Wow. What a problem for you and for him. The solution seems to be in a rust penetrating oil liberally applied. Maybe he will slip back into reality in a short period.

Your job know is to show him love and make sure he's comfortable. Minds degrade like the body does. He'll need you to take over things, and he might be rebellious like a teenager or he might become very dependent upon you like a child would. But you should be ready to step in to protect his interests. It might be painful, but it will have to be done. Such is the nature of life.
Good luck.

Accept him for who he is. He is not going to change. I am assuming you mean he is narrow minded, rigid, or close minded, or obstinant, or stubborn. My dad is the same way.
