Ugh. Here goes, another rant. Sorry for complaining but it's just ridiculous.
As you know, my sister kicked me out for stupid reasons, and while yes I am sure that it is much more complicated than saying it is simply because of my views on religion and my atheism, it is well made point to say that if my views were the opposite than these unfortunate events would not have transpired.
And also, as you all know I've been staying with my parents for a while. They are doing the same my sister has done. They confront me about my atheism. I refute their claims. My mother says and I quote "I don't believe in science" I point out to her, that that's stupid. That to refute proven science and technology is absurd. She gets into a fit, I keep to myself and take the moral high ground. I will not argue with them, a few days pass. They instigate another argument. I ignore them. I keep my atheism to myself. I find it to be a not big deal that I don't believe in a god. They find it to be blasphemous.
They also keep claiming that the internet has brainwashed me. Which I refute. I try to explain to them that I became an atheist not because of the internet but because of increasing doubt while in church. They will not even let me finish my sentence. I say, it was not the internet and I am not brainwashed and that is all they will stand to hear.
They are also claiming that I am a bad influence on my 10 year old sister, (I find it ironic because they are brainwashing her and they claim that I am the one that is brainwashed) when I 90% of the time Never, mention my adversity to religion or a God. I keep quiet. I figure that that is the best thing to do when you have no where to go and no job to boot. Be quiet and hope that things will change.
Unfortunately, things have changed. Albeit not the good, now they are saying that they can not live around me and that I have to go solely based upon my opposition to God and my distrust and loathing of religion. They will not let me explain, and when I try to they yell, like little babies "Wah, Wah. You don't believe the things I do, SHUT UP! SHUT UP! SHUT UP! WAH" and it's becoming to be so frustrating. Even so, I rather deal with that than be on the streets again, like I was once before.
But it seems like I will be on the streets regardless.
Oh, religion. You're a fine thing, you.
