After that post, she no longer derseves any courtesy or respect. Tell her to fuck off.

Your aunt is a manipulative bitch. Fortunately, you don't seem to be falling for her bullshit.

Hell no, I'm not falling for it. You'd have to be a moron to fall for that bullshit.
Quote:If my honesty is hurtful to you, I'm afraid there is nothing that can be done about it. I am not going to lie, and as they say, sometimes the truth hurts. If you want to believe in god, I am not going to stand in your way, but don't ever expect me to dance lightly around your faith to protect anyone's feelings. Religion, especially Christianity, and Islam, are divisive, misleading, and harmful to humanity, and I could never live with myself if I don't speak my mind about it whenever I have the chance. Think of all the people hurt by religion, and if you can't, read a history book. Just pick any one of them.

You're wrong, Aunt Pam. I love myself enough that I don't put any stock in a book that diminishes my value as a woman, or a person (the bible). I love myself enough to educate myself, and question everything because I deserve to know the truth, even if that truth is that nobody knows, and anyone who claims to know is a liar.

It's taken me years to get to this point where I can and do love myself. When I was a Christian, I was too riddled with guilt for doing things that I thought made me a horrible person, but after much introspection, and enlightenment, I realized those things made me nothing more than human.

I volunteer at nursing homes, visiting the lost and forgotten. I work as a pregnancy crisis counselor, and hold hands with young girls who are about to have an abortion because their christian parents would disown them, and never taught them to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancy. I love by showing no judgments, and being there for anyone who needs me.

I am not ashamed of myself, I am pleased with myself, and I love myself. Your judgment upon me that I don't love myself is errant and biased by your religious beliefs that just because I don't love your particular god, I must not love myself. A Hindu could just as easily say you don't love yourself, because you defy and refuse to bow down to Lord Krishna, and they would be equally as correct in their assertion about you, as you are in your assertion about me.

Love, to me, is something that is given without strings attached, and without judgment. I hope one day, you will know what I mean by that. God is not love. God is a figure based upon the moral and political climate of iron aged desert wanderers, and I love myself too much to be mired down with all that.

To be honest with you... I may be the only real Christian you know. Love, hugs and kisses to all.

Count yourself lucky on that score, Alei. What a cunt.

Ugh. I am starting to become ever more thankful that I am not related to any people like your aunt.

I wonder how your aunt would take it if she knew that you and a bunch of people she doesn't know are doing gossip about her views or doings...
Obviously, I do not think that what you're doing here is right, like demonizing her in front of others, without her even having the chance to defend herself, but she's your relative, and you know for the best.
