Something I posted over at AF.com:
Some of you dread the day you have to make your disinterest in religion known to a friend or relative. It's not always easy.
Here's something I did with a lady I knew. I asked her to write down my good and bad aspects down and save them. I asked her to look over the list 24 hours later to see if she wanted to change anything. I promised her I would never ask to see that list. 48 hours after she made the list I told her that I was an atheist.
"I don't know what to say."
"Just do me a favor. Look at that list you made, and see if anything I just said changes anything on that list."
"I can tell you right now it doesn't."
I asked her to marry me one month later, after asking her to look at that list one more time.
