Anecdotal, and all joking aside...but you guys haven't heard me say anything that my wife hasn't...and she's heard some even choicer bits that won't fit here for being squarely against whatever loose rules we have. She appreciates that I don't couch myself in saccharine terms and sweet nothingisms...it shows that I respect her enough as an equal not to believe that she's too fragile for mean words to be spoken about religion in her presence. It;s not like I have to have the smelling salts at the ready everytime I crack a -seriously- nasty comment about god beliefs.
As a bonus, she knows me better than she would if I offered non-confrontational platitudes. What she was raised in and who I am are in direct confrontation - ignoring that would have been disastrous for our family.
Could totally work that in though.
"I don't believe in that..but look on the bright side, I don't have genital warts!"
