How do you deal with a religious family?

RE: How do you deal with a religious family?
(September 15, 2014 at 9:30 am)Aractus Wrote: As to the common ground, my approach would be this: Christianity is a faith, and as it is a faith it requires believing in something you can't prove or disprove. As that is the case, Christians may be wrong, but also non-Christians may be wrong, neither side has absolute proof. For some people, they are willing to believe in their faith, and for others they are not, and in either case people are entitled to make up their own minds to come to their own beliefs.

Putting aside the assertion of placing your beliefs beyond proof and ridiculous notions of absolute proof - all it comes down to is this: No one is denying you the right to make up your own mind about what you believe. You are being denied the right to impose your beliefs on others. And sorry, there is no common ground where that is concerned.

Without any credible evidence for events that clearly go against the known laws of nature, why would anyone consider the theory valid?
