So my S.O. just informed me she may be joining a fundy church

34. I would approach the situation from a realpolitik perspective.

For instance, marriage vows are traditionally till death parts us. It matters little what you believe happens to us after we die. What matters is how you're going to live and treat other people now.

Will your Significant Other (SO) require that 10% of household income be donated to her church? Will SO merely donate 10% of their portion of household income? Will tithing be 10% of disposable income?

Will your SO compromise with a "sinner"? Will SO be uncompromising against any perceived sin?

If it's not a sore subject, can you discuss ideals in the abstract? I like to ask, "What percentage of the population is basically good? How many people are trying to get along versus the percentage of people who are selfish and inconsiderate?" ----If that person answers that any percentage of the general population is basically good, they believe a heresy. Biblically, all humans are "fallen" and need "saving." I personally believe that most people are good which is what makes me a humanist and not a Christian.
