Groan, what do you do about relatives that are fundamentalist Christians?  I consider myself a Secular Humanist, and I'm really starting to get sick of the comments they make on my Facebook.  The last one I believe, was directed at me.

I wish I could just get rid of them that way, but I know what would come. My family knows how I am for the most part. There's also some 'friends' who like to post 'Repost if Jesus is the greatest and he's your lord and savior and will take out the garbage for you' or some crap like that. I just want to post something of my own, like 'Post if you think the devil kicks ass and takes the garbage out for you'. Just so they will SHUT UP!

You know, I think if I do that, I would just be banished from my family. Seriously. I'll give you an example. My nephew in question's father divorced his mother a few years back, but was ostricized from the family. Why? Because he started dating a woman (who he is now married to) before the divorce became final. That's a death knell in my family, apparently. This guy was faithful to his wife for 20 years, and during those 20 years, he was nagged, hen-pecked, criticized, and bullied by this woman, until he couldn't take it no more and finally freed himself from her. This woman continues to be a 'part of the family' by attending family functions and holidays while my cousin is basically banished from the family. Now I normally don't take sides on stuff like this, but from what my brother told me about our cousin, I have to side with him
