So, I guess I'm off to church...
August 17, 2012 at 5:34 pm
My mother recently found out that I'm an atheist.She declared that I simply "don't know anything and have no right to make my own opinions." (It's not like I'm not used to this. Once I threatened to kill myself while she was at work and she laughed in my face.) My sister is a pantheist and my father is agnostic, but my mom's absolutely pissed and she's sending me to church from now on.
It's not like the church can make me believe, and learning even more about what I'm protesting (since I clearly know nothing) will probably be a pro for future argument, but I'm still bummed that my mom's found another reason to treat me like trash.
You can't ignore the people who disagree and pretend it makes you right.

Can't you wear a devil costume to church?
And your agnostic father, why doesn't he step into that madness?

Does your mother force your sister and father to go to church?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

No. My sister is 28 and lives with her husband. I don't know if she'll make my father go. He doesn't know she's sending me to church yet, but he'll probably say something (though I don't know if it'll be enough.)
Once my bible thumping grandmother finds out, though...*shiver*

Well, looks like you have no choice, unless you really want to go off the rails and start drinking, stopping out late and telling your parents what you really think of them...
Nah, just go there, and make it awkward as fuck for all the bible bashers. Ask them all the hard questions, if they are going to torture you by making you go there, at least have a bit of fun with them by torturing them back.
