I come from a Catholic fam and I decided that it was not worth it and became a atheist for various reasons. The problem is that one of my family members are some type of Catholic extremist, anit-vax, anti-science, anti-divorce and the list goes on. And to my surprise(not really) his wife is divorcing him due to DV. His wife was just weeks pregnant when this happened and he believes that she cheated on him this whole time… of course being the Catholic extremist he is he demanded a dna test after the baby was born. Which surprise surprise, he is the father.

Fast forward to a couple of years, I traveled to my home town to visit my family and he was there and STILL kept yapping about how science is demonic or delusional, how vaccines have cause XY and Z. At one point I just couldn’t take it anymore and hit him with the “Science is what proved that my aunt’s baby, which you still refuse to see, was yours, no wonder you got replaced years later after the divorce.” Bro was shook and stopped the topic almost immediate. My mom didn’t like that but someone had to 🤷🏻 if he doesn’t like it then maybe stfu next time? Anyways my aunt now has a new husband who cares so much about her kid and my aunt too so im happy for her.
