Became an atheist, need advice on Christian fiance
#9
RE: Became an atheist, need advice on Christian fiance
I broke up with an former girl friend because of concerns of similar nature. When she uncritically embraced prayer as an effective means of relieving debt as is taught in her fundamentalist church (she has earned an economics PhD from a respectable public university), and took to calling members of her church mama and papa, it became clear to me that to sooth certain childhood emotional trauma there is no floor through which her good sense would prevent her from falling. For me a reasonable grasp on reality in daily life, and a discernable self-respect in comfort seeking, is a minimum requirement to start a married life and parent children.
