My beliefs are irrelevant. It's hers that I care about and she hasn't come to her train of thought by actual thinking.

Quote:Just because you don't believe it to be true doesn't mean it is any less true to her.

It's not even a question of truth, it's a question of blindly defending something without good reason. She doesn't seriously believe in talking snakes and living inside of whales. But for some reason she wants to defend it, as though these stories have any integrity or moral value (and I'm not going to turn this into a debate about whether the bible has good morals or not, because it's not debatable, it just doesn't).

Quote:If she believed in fairies and it didn't affect her loving you or anything in the rest of her reality would you care?

Umm yes, because she'd be believing in fairies. That would make her crazy. My mother isn't crazy.

Quote:Could it be that you hate religion

Yes. I do hate religion. I hate that it forces clever and morally good people to defend a bunch of bullshit and evil blindly.

Quote:or the religious

Yes they piss me off too.

Quote:enough to where simply holding that belief makes one unfit for society or useless?

It's not about society or about having some sort of use. It's about my Mother. I care that my mother's view of the world is wrong. I care that she limits herself mentally due to the brainwashing power of religion.

Is that irrational? If it is then I guess I'm irrational.
