I have a friend who visits every week who is a very strong, gnostic atheist.
The problem he has is that his wife, whilst a lovely girl, is making big waves in her local spiritualist church. She is now becoming a bit of a creationist and tries to persuade him to her way of thinking.
She has always been this way and used to be a born again Christian but now seems to be moving into mediumship and apparently is now one of those that James Randi loves to hate, she contacts the dear departed.
Now, he has a family, three boys, and of course loves her very much but is starting to get worried that she is getting in a bit too deep, so much so that this seems to be all we talk about when he visits as he can't talk about it at home.
If he was your friend what advice could you offer him?
