Atheism and your family
#2
RE: Atheism and your family
My grandmother got me into christianity too. My parent's aren't religious, so when I eventually came out my grandmother was the only one who was really upset. My sister and brother in law are religious, and know I'm an atheist, but beyond the opportunities to mention things to their children that don't line up with what they're being taught, they're not really bothered too much. I still have a good relationship with all three of them.

Of course my grandmother worries I'll go to hell, but my sister and brother in law don't believe in the whole eternal torture idea. They're more in line with the idea that your soul just gets destroyed.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
