Do you attend religious rituals for your family?

[Dotard]

My experiance is they get annoyed and angry.

When holidays roll around, this past easter for example, everyone just stays quiet about family plans to get together and if I don't ask, I don't get invited.

My family will leave me behind rather than risk someone bringing up the subject with me in front of the children or young impressionable minds.

When a group of adults are having a GROUP discussion about religious beliefs and if I begin to participate, I'm usually told I'm butting into a conversation I'm not invited to. Even though I've been in the discussion group for an hour and as long as the conversation was about cars, women, economics etc. there was no problem with my 'invitation'.

So I completely ignore/decline invites to ritualistic stuff like communions/baptisms etc. but make a point to invite myself to the major holidays like easter/christmas/thanksgiving 'cause I love my family despite their idiocracy and dis'ing me for family functions and wish to see them. Oh, and the free food.

Like the poster said above, when the praying starts I occupy myself buttering some bread or making silly faces at the one or two children who are 'peeking' during the prayer.
