Over the past 14 years, I have tried to raise my daughter to be as open minded and free thinking as possible. I never shunned her from other beliefs/books etc. She read, while I tried my best to answer with honesty on my own opinion and what I could research up on things I wasn't for sure on.
A while back she was spending the night with one of her best friends. It was just my daughter, her friend and her friends mother at the time. I guess the Wizard of Oz was on and the friend asked my daughter which one was the "Good Witch"? My daughter went in to explain east, west, etc. etc. and suddenly her friends mother comes bursting in the room, ripped the electrical cord from the wall and started screaming at my daughter that there was no such thing as a, "Good Witch", that they were all bad in "God's eyes".
Fortunately, my daughter is strong headed and told her that it was just a movie and that's all they were talking about. Well, the mother started preaching to my daughter about how she would be going to hell if she didn't change her way of thinking and yada yada, yada...
My daughter told the mother she was probably brainwashed as a kid and that was the reason she was still thinking that way and believing in a mythological Greek stories....llololol.... (I about laughed myself out of my chair on that one)....
Needless to say, I get a call around 10:00PM that night to come and pick her up. The mother of course has banned her daughter from ever speaking to my oldest again. My daughter was of course upset with this, but I explained as much as I could and left it at that with her....
The mother on the other hand, I called up and told her how sorry and pathetic she was to try and condemn, judge, and belittle her on child in the same ways... That conversation ended pretty quickly with her hanging up on me....
Anyway, just thought I would share the story of a religious nut job and my awesome wonderful daughter.....
Nice woman.....much repect to your daughter.....and I 'm pretty sure her friend will get to speak to her again.
A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
