Jay,

Anyone ever run into this before? What did you do?


Stand up for YOUR beliefs - or non-beliefs. It's the only way. If they
have the freedom to have their view - and they should - then it is your
right to have your own. Try to end the discussion by allowing that
people have different opinions about this, yours differs from theirs,
and you'd rather discuss something else.

That's one way. The other, of course, is trying to convince them. Just
like a good newsgroup discussion. Good luck! ;-)
