1 返信And this is exactly why I've yet to tell my parents of my atheism. I'd rather go through high school without being permanently grounded.

I believe that disciplining your kids is a good thing. But when it comes to forcing your religion down others throats, even if it's your own kid, that's just plain stupid. I live in a family that believes in God and I'm just lucky they don't make me go to church and all that stupid time wasting shit.

24 通の返信That's the only way Christianity survives. Forcing itself on the susceptible minds of its followers children. If people like your mom didn't exist, religion would have died out long ago.

Your mom had the right idea but is going about it wrong, sorta. She is raising you, teaching you, disciplining you, and since you don't want to be Christian, that throws a gigantic chunk of her love and teaching she put in you out the window. Now, if I were say your parent, I'd be doing something similar. Since I would be teaching you, I'd want to get you to be a Christ follower. But I wouldn't punish you. That makes it religion.

Young one, you have not been lucky enough to learn from Morrowind? There can be one active effect at a time. But you can hit different shrines to the tune of your needs. This is how you should be doing: [b]Parent:[/b] You must believe in and respect <X> [b]You:[/b] For how long? Will it wear off if I go to sleep? [b]Parent:[/b] Stop making fun you lil shit. You'll spend an eternity in <Y> [b]You:[/b] Ok, Ok.. I'm sorry. I could do with a buff. Do I need to wear amulet or charms or the effect is via infusion to armor..what about laundry in which case? [b]Parent:[/b] I see you're still being smartass about it. [b]You:[/b] No,, really. I'm sorry. Please allow me to keep the xbox plugged in. I'll agree to visit a place of power once a while. You are in their guild you have to abide by the shrine rules if you take food and shelter fr free. Once you're on your own you can shake off the amulet/charms and be true to yourself. Jokes apart, think of it as membership to a club for which the benefits are cool. Smart guys will not get into long debates over any religion, but rather[i] use[/i] it for best effects as can be had. Religion is like a Visa Signature or Amex Centurion bro - you keep a variety of cards and[i] use[/i] whichever applicable best to get free insurance on rental or access to lounge at airport..as the situation demands. Be glad that there are still people that actually believe. Makes selling tootpaste easier. [spoiler]Yea, I'm an atheist but getting into debates on religion is a waste of [i]my[/i] time[/spoiler]

4 通の返信Just have a talk with her. Calmly explain that you dont believe in god, but have nothing against religion. Its your choice to not believe but wont stop her in believing in him. That can help unless you talked bad about relegion in general. Everyone can choose to believe or not, but dont be disrespectfull to those that dont share your opinion or religion.

63 通の返信Well...for one thing....its your choice. You should be a Christian, as god made you and he is very real. But she is your mother...and is over you. It is up to you to honor God's laws..and respect and head to her...whether you agree or not.

Before all else, believe in yourself, If you don't? You will end up throwing everything defining you for whatever you believed in more... Die/live for a god? No. Live for yourself and die for yourself. Family, Religion, Etc? It should all be secondary, do NOT look at anything with absolute belief, always keep an eye out. That is what defines us.

Embrace Jeebus. 2) Quietly resign yourself to living like an Amish person once they take all your gadgets. 3) Paint your walls with pentagrams and whisper 'Hail Satan' as you pass them in the halls. Wait until their resolve wears down in the coming months. Offer them terms of surrender.
