Do I sound like the "devil" to you? My mother thinks I speak like the devil...

RE: Do I sound like the "devil" to you? My mother thinks I speak like the devil...
I'm very sorry to hear this Sad Not at all, you're a smart and lovely guy.

It sounds like binary religious thinking. You're saying stuff that doesn't mesh with their world view, so it's totally wrong and evil.

I agree that if you want to preserve relationships with such people, agreeing that these topics are off limits is the ways to go. If they can't have a discussion without bringing God into it, they have nothing useful to say anyway.

I have a similar rule about shouting. As soon as someone starts raising their voice to me, I won't continue the discussion until they calm down.
Feel free to send me a private message.
Please visit my website here! It's got lots of information about atheism/theism and support for new atheists.
