IIN ppl live by wishful thinking

Yup. It's normal. My grandma is an old-style 'scientistic' militant atheist and her understanding of the world and vision of 'progress' is based on the reality and ideals of the 1970s. As much as we love her and value all that she does and has done for us, my atheist family members agree that she won't listen to anything that disturbs her ideas of how the world is, or should be. She is too frightened of her own computer to switch it on, calls smartphones 'backwards progress' and preferred not to be 'introduced' to my Amazon Alexa. She thinks that all psychiatric medication causes physical dependancy, assumes that a Christian that can get excited about science and engineering is either a contradiction in terms or an extremely rare bird, and the science that she tries to 'teach' me is pretty much the contents of the middle school science exam I took 13 years ago...
She thinks my faith is dangerous, and our conversations do occasionally verge into minor skirmishes around the existence of God. But she seems to think that her enthusing about the wonders of astrophysics will destabilize my belief in God in some way. I was excited as anyone I know to see the first telescopic image of the black hole.
