Still struggling.

[God of Mr. Hanky]

Yeah, it's unfortunate that there's no better option for one living under the custody of militantly religious parents other than to play along. There should be something which sensible people can do about this insidiously cruel form of child abuse...maybe some day, but in order for that to happen we'll first have to get the majority of atheists on board, who treat anti-theism with the same shitty stick as they do religion. They are atheists who never really had religion foisted on them as children, which allows them only a minimal excuse for not considering just how abusive it is to children by the doctrine of "sin" alone. They should ask you whether you consider the teaching and enforcement of religion on children to be harmful or abusive. This will happen invariably wherever we have a society which plays "be and let be" with any organized groups which teaches ridiculous ideas which, despite being so ridiculous and offensively nasty, have proven to be dishonest and cruel enough to survive for thousands of years in the minds of subsequent generations.

Faith is virus, and a very nasty one, and should not be treated by any sane people as benign!
