JD Vance recently told a packed college arena that he hopes his Hindu wife would someday convert to Christianity, thrusting into the spotlight the deeply sensitive challenges facing interfaith couples.
Experts who have counseled hundreds of couples who don’t share religious beliefs say the key is respect for each other’s faith traditions and having honest discussions about how to raise their children. Most agree that pressuring or even hoping the other would convert could prove damaging to a relationship, and all the more so for a couple in the public arena.
Playing make believe and having an imagonery friend as a grownup can’t be healthy for either party.
For children to have an imaginary friend, it is called a “phase”. For adults, it is called a “religion”.
When religious people say:
That should be a pretty good hint that some people need an imaginary friend.
Stop fucking assuming that every other human is exactly like you, we get enough of that from republicans.
Even when that imaginery friend is making them kill everyone else? It’s not the trans, degenerate people doing the genocides, it’s the moral religious people. We can’t keep playing along with these people imaginations.

What?
If a gallon of milk is past the expiration date, do you throw out all the food in your home?
Or so you realize that instead of all food being bad, it’s just rotten food?
I’m not saying we should kill all religious people. The fridge is broken. Stop putting new milk in it.
…
So leave the rest of the food in the broken fridge?
Like, I understand you’re trying to disagree with me, but your updated version of the analogy has the same takeaway:
Did I just woosh and you are agreeing with me intentionally?
