32 y/o nephew raised as a Catholic in an intact family, 35 y/o wife raised in the Assembly of God, both are college grads, married, two young boys, good jobs, both are well paid professional home owners and now both profess that religion is oppressive because it doesn’t support gay marriage, free birth control and abortion, voted for O’Bama twice because he is working to make America more fair for everyone. Trying to talk sense to them is like talking to a wall. Unlike many boomers this generation is not growing into conservatism, in fact I think they are becoming more liberal as they age.
Sounds like to their credit, your nephew and his wife realize that to be truly Christian one must agree with Jesus’ teachings on marriage in Matthew 19:4-6 and support protecting life and the natural family. It’s sad that they have rejected Christianity but I get far more annoyed with folks who say the pro-abortion/homosexualist/promiscuity positions are “compatible” with Christianity or that Jesus Himself advocated such beliefs when there’s no Scripture to support such a contention.
