Atheists dealing with their religious families
#12
RE: Atheists dealing with their religious families
My brother and I are atheists. We have been best friends since we were in diapers. We told each other about being atheists about three years ago, I suppose. Maybe?

My parents are theists. They were pastors/missionaries for the most part of their lives, and though they still call themselves Christians, nope. They're simply theists now. Theists leaning towards agnosticism.

My sister is a pastor's wife.

I am very outspoken about my anti-religion views. I bring it up as much as I can. I don't respect religion. We respect each other, though. I keep all of this away from the kids. Her nieces do not need to hear about how stupid their parents' ideas are as much as my boys do not need to hear about the stupid ideas of my sister and brother in law.

I respectfully asked her why the fuck she allowed her 8 year old daughter to start a FB account and respectfully asked her to fucking make her delete me from it (because I accepted her request out of shock and not being prepared for such... stupidity, again). I respectfully reminded her that my FB account contains atheist content which would respectfully grow in large increments if she did not hurry to delete me. Her daughter deleted me in minutes. Respectfully.

Other than that, my sister and I mostly talk about comedians, being parents, and cooking. Big Grin She's older than me by 3.5 years, but I feel a duty to protect her. Hopefully one day I'll protect her from religious oppression. Respectfully.
