Nobody can force you to go to Church, that's ridiculous. You need to learn to stand up for yourself and not let others control you.

If you'd rather do it the coward's way, just embarrass the shit out of her next time you go to church so she won't want you there again.

You might be giving money to an atheist pretending to be clergy.

That would be ironic if you took freedomfromfallacy's suggestion to steal the money and keep it for yourself.

An atheist pretending to be a priest taking money from parishioners under false pretenses, (fraud) gets robbed by an atheist pretending to put money into the collection bowl which they in turn had stolen from their elderly grandmother.

Nice atheist morality! Well done team.

No scotsman fallacy.Atheism is just a disbelief morals differ between us, we call it being individuals

RE: Forced into going to church?
Part of what makes me not feel bad about not going to church is that somewhere a passage says that if someone is luke warm, Yahweh will spit him out. Basically if you're not in it with your all, you might as well not be. Maybe tell your grandmother that.

She probably won't listen, though. At least she hasn't beaten you to death with a rock like she's supposed to do.

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
