Atheists & Agnostics
In reply to the discussion: So my S.O. just informed me she may be joining a fundy church [View all]progressoid
(50,748 posts)Is there something else going on (obviously I don't need details)? It's just that in my experience with this sort of thing, when a person has some sort of internal conflict o questions that need addressing they sometimes turn to religion hoping for an easy solution. When my wife's father passed away she started going to church. After a couple years she got tired of the hypocrisy and judging by the church members and quit going. She is now an avowed atheist.
Has your S.O. expressed an interest in other religions or denominations?
Not to sound all new-agey but maybe she's looking for an answer to the big question of Life, The Universe and Everything.* Of course that doesn't explain the choice to go to a fundy church. One can find fellowship and "answers" at a less harsh church. That is a little concerning.
