Girlfriend's mom wont accept my atheism - what should we do?

Quote:Any advice?

It's a really tricky situation, without a doubt.
I think you two need to continue to stand together, assert your independence. Assert that you two are free to think and live as you please. It's part of life, it's part of growing up. If her mum can't get that, she can sod off.
She sounds very intolerant, hateful and controlling. She needs to understand that either she lets you two get the freedom you're both entitled to or she'll go ignored. Give her the silent treatment. Don't go to the wedding, both of you. Make it clear.

Well that's what I think anyway.... Big Grin
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan

Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
