I'm glad she doesn't seriously believe in talking snakes and living inside of whales. She may have some reason she wants to defend it that you don't see. I defend it because I feel it is a moral adn usefull applicable improvement to my life. You obviously don't agree, but your impass to even entertain the idea, might be the crux of the issue with her if she has similar reasons. Caring about your mother is not irrational, it's commendable in today's society. Big Grin Perhaps I'm not fully grasping what you mean by "blindly defending". Could you explain that a little better for me please. How is she limiting herself mentally? How is she brainwashed any more than the average person?

Okay, I'm not gonna pretend I know exactly what's going on in my mothers head. BUT, it is pretty clear to me, that for some reason, she feels the need to get offended whenever I make a simple point about Christianity. For instance, I said something off the cuff about how priests like to touch little boys. She gets offended. She tuts and pulls some snarly face like I've just insulted her. It's a fact though, Catholic priests HAVE touched little boys. But why if you don't go to church every sunday, if you don't even pray, would you get offended by something like that?

I'm 99% sure my mom doesn't REALLY believe in a Christian god. But she will always get offended if you poke fun at it.

This to me shows she is brainwashed into feeling some sort of sympathy with it. How can you feel sympathy with an organisation that has throughout the ages committed an uncountable amount of atrocities? This to me shows she doesn't even think about it when she gets offended.
