[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I lose some respect for any "believer" I know. More so, for fundamental types.

For my kids' spouses: 
religion-lite - tolerable
religion strong - questionable
religious nutter - no fcking way

I feel sorry for people who have parents that think that they have any say about the person whom their child will be in a relationship with and marry. It’s selfish and entitled for parents to think that they have any say about whom their child loves, because they don’t have that right. As long as they love each other and care about each other, it’s none of the parents business. [/quote]

I never said I “have a say”.

Just giving my opinion. Some people just don’t want to hang out with brainwashed folks.

So you would cut off contact with your adult child if they married the person they loved, because the person they loved didn’t think like you? That’s a terrible thing to do to your child. My aunt and uncle are extremely religious, fundamentalist. Southern Baptist from birth. Their son is gay. When he came out and brought his partner into their lives, they accepted it. My aunt did attend therapy, as she felt she did something “wrong” as a parent, but the therapist worked with her to make her understand things in a different light. It was immensely helpful. They are a loving family and continue to accept and love their son and his partners. I just can’t see not having a relationship with one of my kids because they fell in love with their life partner and were happy. [/quote]
