First off I want to just stop for a sec and say hi! Just been been for a bit and I can tell I'm gonna like it here.
Onto the topic, my father passed away this Sunday and the pastor as the funeral all but demanded my family start going to his church cause we didn't have a "church family". Now this pisses me off for a number of reasons first of which being he's taking advantage of my mother while still in a delicate state of mind. Second he was my high school principal but that's not important.
See, me and my youngest brother are atheists and we've since disillusioned ourselves of the dogma that is Christianity and frankly we have no desire to go back to such a way of things and feel we can heal WITHOUT it.
So my question is what do we do about it? I want to respect her wishes if it helps get over her grief but that's not how we do things.
PS. For the record I'm 23 and my brother is 14.
