That's my punishment?
December 7, 2011 at 8:50 pm
Got on facebook after a while and out of nowhere I get a message from my mother with a response to my Atheism:
STOP ADVERTISING YOUR BELIEFS! YOU ARE WORSE THAN A CHRISTIAN! OH, YEAH...SINCE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD YOU JUST LOST YOUR CHRISTMAS PRESENTS! I DON'T GIVE TO NONBELIEVERS!!!!!
GOOD BYE

My response (still working on it): Blasphemy is only blasphemy to its believers. Seeing Christian symbolism could be very offensive to anyone that is not acquainted to your specific religion. Maybe you should a little research on the history of your so called "Christmas", and figure out exactly where you all stole it from. It was originally a Pagan holiday that celebrated Saturnalia, which was in worship of the god Saturn. There was also another celebration around this time of the year in the ancient Roman Empire. Mithraism worshiped a Sun deity (Mithras), and his key celebration was on December 25th, an observance called the "Nativity."

I couldn't care less if you want to play the game of cat and mouse over a present, but if you want to act like a child and try to get your "revenge" on non-believers (Atheists) then go ahead. It just shows the immaturity of your actions as a respectable person.

Now since it is that time of the season, then how about you take a step back and actually take a look on your worshiping of god overall. What do you do to worship your god, in any manner or form that could represent you actually being a "Die-hard Christian". If you believe that he died for your "sins", the least YOU could do is worship him like the "almighty" Christian lady that you are.

Now onto your little complaint about me choosing to be Christian, I have never ONCE chose to be Christian in my entire life, other than when you took me as a child to play the role as baby skydaddy. You do nothing that represents your worship to your god to elicit that you are a worshiping Christian devoted to serving your self-loving lord. It's actually situational irony because YOU choose to be Christian only on holidays, not me. Is there a problem with me celebrating the winter Solstice? I think not, the only difference is that I'm not worshiping your god. I couldn't care less if you actually decide not to give me a gift simply because I exercise my freedom from religion. No matter what your religion is or lack thereof, I wouldn't discriminate over your beliefs and act like a immature because of your freedom of religion.

Tell her the best present she could give you is to keep her opinions about your atheism to herself. My mom is "disappointed" in me too for being an atheist. If I only had a fuck to give...

I don't rightly give a fuck about what she thinks about me. If that's her reasons for disliking or being disappointed in me, then let it be. Her judgement doesn't matter to me :d.

It's a rather pathetic attempt at parental "control."

Just tell her "How very Christian of you".

Tell her the feeling's mutual. I know I'm disappointed in the family members of mine that are religious.
"Sisters, you know only the north; I have traveled in the south lands. There are churches there, believe me, that cut their children too, as the people of Bolvangar did--not in the same way, but just as horribly. They cut their sexual organs, yes, both boys and girls; they cut them with knives so that they shan't feel. That is what the Church does, and every church is the same: control, destroy, obliterate every good feeling. So if a war comes, and the Church is on one side of it, we must be on the other, no matter what strange allies we find ourselves bound to."

How about "Keep your presents, if you think it's important; I can buy my own socks."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

You should just post a link to this video and say, "LOL."

I know it's a little late, but this reminds me of the mother in this video: http://video.adultswim.com/robot-chicken...stmas.html

More reasons to use "X-mas" instead of "Christmas". Christians stolen and twisted X-mas to fit their deluded beliefs to celebrate zombie Jesus. It's sad that most of Christians didn't see global X-mas are secularized - we're celebrating for love, friendship, relationship with our close ones, not anyone's zombie fucking Jesus.. If any Christian parents acting the way like MilesTailsPrower's mother and one in the video - they are sad excuse for parents - they should celebrate X-mas for love toward their children.

How unmotherly of MilesTailsPrower's mom.

I can't even argue with her, I can't get a word out without her yelling and interrupting long enough to tell her my reasons.

Here the cycle: Interrupt, Yell, then leave before I can say a word.

She's not a very good religious debater, she honestly believes in the world wide flood. UNFUCKINGBELIEVABLE!
