You dont have to discuss religion all the time.
Remember when I met Jane she was a born again christian and now she shes a spritualist.

We have three kids and get on ok.

I know and you're very lucky. But, something inside me just couldn't get past the fact that we could never discuss astronomy or natural history or evolution or alien life or any number of things that fascinate me without her dismissing it all in favour of bronze age fairy tales Undecided

Well youve always got me for those kinds of discussions.
With her you could discuss what lacy underwear she should wear.Big Grin

It would only ever bother me if it interfered with my life somehow. Like going to church... I have done that a few times recently for advertising a public debate I am organising and would not wish to do that anymore. And when raising a child, that would be the most important thing...as much as I would most likely love her, I would never let her beliefs be forced on any child of mine.

Now that he doesn't have Eilonnwy to antagonize, the wind appears to have gone out of his sails.
