I don't think you need to go to war so much as just ask leading questions. We have four very Christian grandparents who send religious stuff. We've let the kids have it, but discussed it. They are 15 and 17 now and both atheist. There wasn't any need to call their grandparents stupid or suggest that that their grandparents didn't love them. A little critical thinking goes a long way.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.

(April 10, 2015 at 7:02 pm)The Reality Salesman Wrote: So, my ex-wife (who is a dumb cunt), was an "atheist" until last week when she got what I can only assume to be a Christianity for Dummies book. I couched atheist in quotes because her position was merely the default position with no previous knowledge on any religion. I was raised Christian in a small town in Texas. As usual, she has assumed that she is privy to some information that I am not aware of and sent me a text because my son told her "that Jesus story sounds made-up". She gave me a quick news bulletin about Jesus and how he died for our sins. She then had the audacity to suggest that I pickup a bible sometime because it's filled with all sorts of amazing truths if you "know how to read it". She went on to request that I respect her new belief and her desire to impose it on my 6 year old son! Lol, good luck. I hope she's prepared...she has no fucking clue what she's bitten into. She literally couldn't be barking up a worse tree...
I could point to a lot of scriptures that she probably won't hear about in Sunday school that would help her get a better perspective on her new faith. This is important to take it easy so your baby doesn't get caught in the crossfire.
Would it help to point out in Genesis how God created the grass and the trees on the third day then the sun and the moon on the fourth day. While we're in Genesis, notice that in chapter one God creates eeverything and saves man for his grand finale, but in chapter two he creates man first "before any tree was planted."
Ask her how she will find divine favor by believing in things she knows are not true
Here are some other things you might share with her

Ask her if she will get moral guidance from a book that tells fathers how to sell their daughters into sexual slavery.
Just ask questions. Plant seeds. and most of all, help her to discover other ways to meet the emotional needs that drove her to Christianity.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

Maybe the sceptic's annotated bible would be a nice present.

Maybe babie's mama needs to be exorcised by daddy's dick.
