Why does my family want me to be christian so much?
March 25, 2018 at 4:45 am
They don't believe in Hell and know that atheists can be moral. If someone becomes atheist and is unhappy, they have the right to return to religion at any time, so why do they insist so much un religion?
I geniuenly want to understand them, but can't.

Criminals rape and kill. It's not like I will try to understand their unique worldview. Life's too short for that kind of shit and same goes for religion.

It's got something to do with distorted thinking and fear of losing control of their child.

They get a kickback from your church if they save you from yourself.

I don't know. My family is sort of the same way, very liberal in their religious beliefs, doesn't believe in hell but obviously uncomfortable with my atheism.

Ultimately I think people not sharing their beliefs makes them uncomfortable.

Do they think it will cure you of something?
My parents were so brainwashed that they just didn't know any better or different.
