"I just don't see how that is supposed to work" shows wisdom not lack of insight on your part.If you have meaningful spiritual beliefs they need to become an important part of who you are.Anyone who shows disrespect for and mocks even your superficial beliefs is displaying characteristics of an abuser,verbal and in time possibly physical.Why would anyone want to maintain any type of relationship with someone who consistently shows disrespect for them unless they want to be turned into intellectual putty?
