Dear LFTP: the significant other who hijacks every religious discussion

  • How do I get my significant other to stop hijacking religious discussions with hostility?

A woman writes in that her significant other, nice in every other respect, injects sarcasm and hostility into any religion or spirituality discussion and always ends with 'show me proof.' The hosts say he doesn't sound nice, that 'show me proof' is an immature apologetic that wins nothing, and advise her to keep telling him it hurts and breaks relationships — with firmer action if they're not married, since choosing himself over her request is the real data point. The Secular answer calls him a boar welcome as a polecat at a picnic.
