Back to where i started

[Clueless Morgan]

Well, i did it. I "came out" to my mother and father. They reacted not negatively, but instead passive-aggresively. Basically, my dad told me that i wasn't an atheist, but instead a christian sceptic. That i have to say the prayer at dinner now, and that i have to go church whenever they go. I'm basically back at square with, with the added resentment of my idiot brothers. I'm looking into finding a youth atheist group, but so far i can't find any. I'm depressed, resented, and either musunderstood or ignored by my father. But i guess it could be worse.

I'm sorry to hear that you're dad is being such a dick. Hopefully you're old enough that it won't be too long before you can move out, but in the mean time, if it won't incur too much backlash, I like other posters' suggestions of fucking with them.

In the event that you have to say grace and don't have anything unique prepared I recommend the short and simple standard Catholic grace: "Bless us, O Lord, and these, Thy gifts, which we are about to receive from Thy bounty. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen."

I've never in my life prayed before eating but I'm a fan of two before-meal prayers:

"Good food, good meat, good god let's eat"

and

"Bless us, oh Lord, for these Thy gifts which we are about to receive. And yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of no food, I will fear no hunger. We want you to give us this day, our daily bread. And to the republic for which it stands, and by the power invested in me, I pronounce us ready to eat. Amen." (From Sister Act)
