My wife and I have been fighting about her embarrassment at my “manic” reposting of Atheist Republic posts on FB, and now she’s going to church by herself. I am an agnostic antitheist. We have our disagreements. I fought the temptation to tell her, “Enjoy your adult storytime.”

Why are some atheists so anti god? I've never understood this. I don't see any need to militantly demean and agress those who believe in God, seeking them out for a fight.

I agree, going point Al.

You can set her your restricted friends list on facebook. That way she can only see your public posts and you can make those posts only visible non restricted friends. If she is not facebook savvy she won't even know she's on that list. Good luck

Wow, adult story time is right !!

I separated from my wife of 12 years. It's very hard to live with someone with different lifestyles and directions. It got to the point to where life together wasn't good anymore for us or the kids.

Don't be petty, and ask your wife to act similarly. I am a total atheist and my wife is a devout Catholic. We have chosen to respect each other's right to believe as we choose and the differences are not an issue in our marriage. If the two of you really care deeply about each other and your relationship, you will reach a similar conclusion -- and live by it. .

Lol! But its too bad you don't have the beliefs or non beliefs. Good luck with that.

Atheism isn't a lack of belief, its a lack of God.
As an atheist (or any other type of human) your life rests in many beliefs that you've never had proved in any way at all.

To keep your self married always check your inner screen before making rash comments like that. Just hug her and tell her you love her even if see is deluded; makes the same point but, in a caring manner.

A safe route to go.

I don't understand how marriages like this work. There is a fundamental disagreement.

I agree but sometimes one partner veers away from religion while the other sticks with it. In my case I'm no longer religious but my ex wants to live and raise kids in the church. We knew it was better to live life the we way we want. It's also complicated because it creates two different views of marriage. I want my soul mate. She wants a guy to be satisfied working at McDonalds as long as he depends on "god" for work. It's a mess. Of course the rabbit hole gets deeper. Lol

Oh my goodness... Will you divorce?

Have her unfollow you, it'll do good for your marriage.

Agree to disagree, and avoid the subject...your posts are YOUR posts, not hers. Otherwise, get a good divorce attorney!

I agree. I'm in the same boat with my husband. He doesn't like that I post anti Christian stuff, and he doesn't like that I quit going to church. But ultimately, he understands that they're my opinions and I'm going to post them whether or not he agrees.
