 How do you deal with family members?
Normally, when I encounter closed-minded religious bigots in life I can just keep a distant relationship with them and deal with it. However, having many deeply religious Christian family members makes it very hard to avoid them. I'm not saying they're horrible people, but my world view is much different than theirs and sometimes it leads to conflict, especially when we discuss politics. For instance, one family member who is an avid Bush supporter said she "just didn't care" when the whole Abu Ghrab scandal came to surface. That mentality is rather alien to me. I am more spiritual and they are more dogmatic. Surely I'm not the only person who has had to deal with this problem. Any advice would be highly appreciated!
