I found that if you just nod and don't listen, it's possible to resist the insanity for shorter periods of time.

Btw, Drew, I'm 16 and in a religious family as well. Not a mechanic though.

Welcome, Drew.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Sorry to hear about all the christian family, how are you coping with that?

Only my mom and my younger sister know, the rest of my family like my grandparents and uncles aunts ect.. Are all too religious, like they will probably look at me as a bad person because of it. My uncle for example has a 22 year old son with autism who lives with them and he has him believing a bunch of nonsense about how gays and non believers are going to hell and all of the normal bible shit. I feel so bad for him, he really doesn't have the ability to think on his own about it, his parents pounded that stuff into his head at a young age (as I've been told) they beat him if he didn't do or believe exactly as they told him. That's most likely the cause of his asphergers. And they claim to be "good Christian people". It makes me angry. But other than that I don't let the religion bother me much. Only when they try to force it on me.
CHRISTIANITY: The belief that some cosmic Jewish Zombie can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him that you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

Makes perfect sense.

Give a man a fish, and you'll feed him for a day; give him a religion, and he'll starve to death while praying for a fish.

God, that is sickening. I'm very sorry, that poor kid. That level of indoctrination combined with physical intimidation is going to get to anyone.

Good christian people my arse, I have found the correlation to be a negative one. The more seriously christian someone is, the worse person they are.
