Avoiding indoctrination while still going to church with my Girlfriend?
January 16, 2015 at 9:49 pm
Hey guys! I still want to go to church, but I just want to go so that I can spend time with my Girlfriend every weekend. I don't want to see her less just because I'm an atheist. We rarely get to date because I'm not exactly wealthy. So, the only way I can spend time with my girlfriend, at this time of year is by going to church with her. But I don't want to be re-indoctrinated into the church. Is there something I can do so I can still go with my girlfriend to church, but avoid being re-indoctrinated again? Thanks a bunch.
If pinkie pie isn't real, then how do you explain the existence of ponies, huh? If ponies are real, then that's proof that Pinkie Pie is real. Checkmate, christians!

Yes, usually pretending not to listen works for me.
An introductory thread would be great, btw.
But I'm the kind of person who only went to church once in the last 3 years (not counting tourist visits)

Sit in the back and make out with her.

Ask mildly difficult questions.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Your next present to her should be crotchless panties. Hopefully she gets the idea, and you get stinky fingers.

Give her a drink, speak gibberish, and commence to fucking her in the pew. When the devout show concern simply tell them she is handling a serpent and refer to Mark 16:17-18.

Honestly? Wouldn't worry about it. Indoctrination doesn't really work if you know it's happening.

It will be like when you see some one do a card trick that you know. The awe is gone because you know the gig.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Yeah, once you have seen through religion, there's no way you should get indoctrinated. Religion is utterly baseless in reality (I can give you plenty of resources about this if it would help). If you brought up a single logical question to anyone there, I can pretty much guarantee you'll get either a deceitful canned answer people have been spoon fed, or just some made up nonsense. To any reasonably sceptical person, it won't wash.
It works so well on the young because their brains haven't finished developing critical thinking skills. Which is why it is mind rape, in my opinion. It's appalling.
Does your girlfriend know you're an atheist?

Get an ear piece for your phone. Listen to music rather than the moron droning on up front.
