A friend of mine, formerly christian, has shown an interest in my beliefs (non-christian). We've been talking for several weeks now, and it's all been good.
Last night, she was to discuss what she's been learning with her husband (still Christian). Her last note to me was positive and optimistic.
Today, both her email address and Y!A email address are bouncing my mail (I've tried at several points during the day in case it was a glitch).
What should I think of this new development?

I would guess her husband wasn't quite so interested, and wanted her to put a stop to your conversations. I think that to be a shame if it is the case. Or perhaps he stepped in to put a stop to them *for* her. I think that to be a crime if that is the case.
But you can't really know for sure unless and until she contacts you again. I hope she does, if only because having no closure can be troubling.

Honestly, I think her Husband has talked to her and told her to stay away from you because He might feel threatened that you are trying to persuade her away from the Lord. Once a christian is always a Christian. Christianity is not like the worlds religions. The LORD is faithful to us Christians even when we walk away from Him. He loves us and He Loves you to. He promisses us christians His children never to leave us or forsake us even when we fail the Lord at times.

She was never a Christian to begin with. She just said she was. A true Christian would never give up Jesus
Titus 1:16 They profess that they know God; but in works they deny him, being abominable, and disobedient, and unto every good work reprobate.

Changing is hard, but your views have sunk in if she's so suddenly resorted to shutting you out. Give them time to settle in - she'll be back. A mind isn't changed overnight, not to mention a life's history of Christian propoganda.
Incidentally, before I get a lot of hatemail, let me point out that my above statement doesn't necessitate that all Christian teachings are presented as propoganda.
Even if most of them are.

She's decided to avoid foolish debates.

At this point, I think she'd rather save her marriage than maintain connection with you. Maybe you'll hear back from her later, but not now.

We cannot leap to any conclusions yet, write to her or contact her by telephone. The best misunderstanding in the world come from such things.

Don't come to any conclusion without more information. Call her and find out for sure. If she does not want to talk, then you know for sure.

She, or God, or both have rejected your influence in her life... or her husband is angry and told her to repent and block your communication.

It's a sign from God.
A "stop" sign.
