I have a loved one going though a rough period in there life and they have never been religious. But now they say the Lord is there guide and savior. They have never believed before. And in fact have always denounced the need for a god. So why as a species do we need to turn to such ideas instead of looking inward for the truth about life,instead of our own reasoning. I want to be there for them but it seems as though their new found beliefs are putting walls between us and that is what they want. How do i procede forward in this case to maintain a relationship with a family member that up until now has been vary close and dear to me..any good advise would be appreciated.
