With that out of the way I am going to a christian convention on Monday! The time where I have to take a break from my exams Im getting preached about how fucking amazing JC is!

So how do I keep sane? What should I do to keep my ass out of a mental asylum!

Thank you Big Grin Big Grin

I hate to say this, but if you are financially dependent on them, you should remain quiet about your atheism until you are financially independent. Especially if you are going to college and they are paying.

Also, you may have to put up with their attempted indoctrination.

I say, go to the convention, and ask a lot of uncomfortable questions to the youth pastors and other Christians there. You might get lucky and they'll ask you to leave.

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
