My father is the Pastor of a church, my Mother is a Pastors wife (Yes that is her "title"), my sister is big in her Church, in fact when she finished school, she volunteered for a Church for an entire year before heading to Uni, my Grandparents both attend my parents church every week, and then there's me. When I lived at home it was especially difficult being an atheist, as I was confronted with information that to me, really just sounded uneducated and stupid, ALL THE TIME. It is impossible to have a coherent conversation with my Father without the underlying message of WHATEVER he is saying relating God or Jesus or being "Christian". It's easier now that I've left home, but it still puts a big strain on any relationship I could ever have with my parents. Is there anyone else out there in a similar situation? How do you handle it?It's easy. Ask me how I came to be the only panturkist/nationalist in a mostly non-political family(I'm talking on small terms, not my big family that includes my grandparents, uncles, aunts, and many of my cousins, where I have two cousins who swore an oath along with me.)?
And my father was an ex-commie who likes certain individuals that I absolutely detest, although we have certain individuals that we both like.
If I were something really so high off, like, if I were an Islamist, I'd probably face something more severe, as I and my father have not talked to each other for a month over an argument of some communist who was hanged years ago.
Then we made up, and are even on better terms now, since the subject is now a matter of joke.
