Yeah, it's not even worth getting into it with them. They won't change their minds. They're stuck in their bigoted ways. My wife's great-aunt came to us crying before our wedding because we didn't accept Jesus into our hearts.

Yeah it's never worth it. I have ultra religious family too and the mental gymnastics they do to defend their prejudice is baffling. I have so many shower arguments that will never see the light of day.
