Moms not taking my atheism well.
#7
RE: Moms not taking my atheism well.
Try to be understanding.
She is frightened because you have chosen to leave the tribe.
It's a jungle out there and she is worried about your well being.
Mothers worry about their kids. It's natural.
It is hard to show her that her fear for her loved one is superstitious and unfounded and exactly like the fears of a young child afraid of the dark. And the difficulty is for a very good reason. Her fears are not unfounded. It's a jungle out there.
Over time, the child grows out of the fear of the dark as they become more competent and able to handle the dangers they face. Sometimes the adult grows out of the fear of the unknown.
Sometimes not.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat? Huh
