Father Disowned Me Because I'm Still Atheist

[Heywood]

I hope things work out between you and your dad. They won't if you continue to call him names and ridicule his beliefs.

Does Hallmark make a card thanking parents for a lifetime of psychologically damaging indoctrination?

Mormons deserve to have their beliefs ridiculed because they are ridiculous. More importantly, they should be chastised and admonished for supporting a suffocating system of control over its members, particularly children. You have absolutely no fucking clue what's being discussed. All you have is your misplaced fealty for the fifth commandment.

It doesn't matter if Mormonism deserves to be ridiculed. Ridiculing your dad's beliefs and calling him names isn't an effective tactic at building a relationship with him.
