In today's Ask Amy, a reader wonders how to tactfully get out of going to a religious ceremony.
Dear Amy: I am an atheist. I believe in practicing kindness and respect for other people’s views.
If your friend does ask, you can say, “As you know, I’m an atheist. I don’t attend religious ceremonies. I realize this might be somewhat awkward, and I recognize this is extremely important in your family, but I need to decline. But I’m also very honored by the invitation.”We moved closer to our family to raise our children with relatives.I don’t like his past, which includes multiple arrests for domestic violence and robbery, and I don’t like who my sister becomes when she’s around him.
I grew up around a violent and abusive man and witnessed the repercussions of alcoholism via my grandmother.Dear Torn: Only you can realistically assess your ability to handle the stress and anxiety that being in this man’s presence will engender.
