My problem/question: I have been married to my husband for 38yrs. He has never been baptized. Three yrs ago he made some detrimental comment about Catholics so I asked him if he hates Catholics. To my shock he said "Yes, I hate every last one them, including you." Things have been very icy since. He gave me a book recently called "Brain Bugs, how the brain's flaws shape our lives" by Dean Buonomano. He said he heard of the book on NPR. I thought it was a medical book. But it is a book that considers certain members of our human race as deficient because of their beliefs. Those who are atheists considered more highly "evolved" than the rest of us poor schmucks that still need faith in some unseen god to hold us together. I don't know how to answer this personal attack. Is there a book that I can give him to read, if he would, that might explain to him a little about the faith? He never had any faith training and he never wants to hear anything from me about it.
ve is the measure of all holiness.
