Parents forcing a christian convention on me - how to keep sane?
April 3, 2015 at 11:32 am
So when I say forcing I mean they think I want to go, I havent told them about my athiesm as I don't want to face the consequences
With that out of the way I am going to a christian convention on Monday! The time where I have to take a break from my exams Im getting preached about how fucking amazing JC is!

So how do I keep sane? What should I do to keep my ass out of a mental asylum!

Thank you Big Grin Big Grin

Is there any way you could convince your parents you don't want to go without revealing you're an atheist? Have you tried talking them out of it?

Oh trust me thats not an option! Plus Id have to go to my christian nans anyway who is even more radical, because my parents are so clingy they don't want to leave me at home despite being of a legal age

Huh. Well, can you explain more about this convention? How long will it last and what would it look like?

What kind of Christianity are we talking about? The kind with men in dresses and funny hats? Or the megachurch variety? Do you think you could speak in tongues while convulsing, then stop, look around, and declare "Psych!"?
