Family not accepting you're an Atheist
#18
RE: Family not accepting you're an Atheist
Didn't come out on purpose to my family, but a persistent sister-in-law on my father's side found out since I wasn't lying about, just not bringing it up. A cousin figured it out from my Facebook footprint. My dad's side is UPC, my mom's side is Assembly of God; both Pentecostal sects. My mom's side doesn't give me much grief, my dad witnesses to me perpetually when I visit so I don't visit much and have learned to bring John Wayne or Hallmark movies to distract hime when I do. He thinks since I was baptized in the 'Name of Jesus tm', I'll recognize the antichrist (who is coming any day now) and get a chance to join the Tribulation Force or something. I'm way to old to disown, and I've never gotten that vibe from any of them anyway, most of them are as good as you'd expect them to be. I'm more frustrated so many of them won't get vaxxed.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
