RE: Supporting Your Loved One without Supporting Their Religion? How?
October 27, 2015 at 7:14 pm
I read this post earlier today but did not have a good response. I can relate, though. I'm surrounded by very devout people. And you have written some of the songs, you have a history of supporting your Mother in this way, and she expects it. (Good luck with sales, btw.)
It's really a puzzle, isn't it?
I think what I would do in your shoes is to increase my support as webmaster, even though it supports Christianity. I would try to think of it as just supporting your Mom's music. (Which was once, or is, your music.) Because you want her to have fun with this, enjoy it, and have some success, even if it is Christian.
I would swallow my irritation with the message. Find a way to give support from a distance, and try to bite my tongue to keep from starting fights. If you take the high road, but somehow manage to stand your ground on the overt support of Christianity, your Mother will see that you are being loving, controlled, and mature. That should help with future ventures.
