In the end, your mom got what she wanted. One day you're going to have to stand up for yourself, or live in misery until you do. And don't think that once you move out, it'll change. She'll still pester you about the same old shit and based on how crazy she sounds about religion she'll still probably try to force you to go to church. There's going to come a time when you have to say "No, I refuse" and NOT break down and give her what she wants. You'll have to stand tall. Hopefully as you get older, she'll get more lenient in her religious insanity.I have. I did. My mother is a cunt. Have you seen that video of that boy getting chewed out by his mother on youtube? That is nothing compared to my mom. She fuckin' tries to beat me but I have to remind myself that I could get in deep shit if I try anything, so I simply remove myself and go to mass. Until I finish high school this year, get a job, and a small place to live, I'll give her the middle finger. My situation is that fucked up. As for my father, he is atheist but is to much of a pussy to stand up to her.
As for the mass today, it was the most uncomfortable and awkward event I have ever experienced. A whole congregation of people who are all clueless, brainwashed, and get off at the sight of their "savior" getting beaten and crucified. It disgusts me how they so profoundly say "Amen" to every SINGLE thing, even if they didn't hear what the priest said or necessarily believe. I had to go up to the cross and kiss it but I just bowed and had to say "Amen" for communion. At one point I said "Don't make me do this against my will" and the people around me gave me the most awkward looks. I've read more of the Bible than any of those fools who dearly claim faith in it.
And why is it that any male with long hair is associated with Jesus? First off, prove to me he even existed. Second, I don't look like a sand my pals
Why is religion so fucked up?
My mom is pretty religious too. She goes to church every week and participates in all of her churches extra curicular activities. When I was young, my parents put me through Sunday school (my dad believes in God and is Christian, but he's not the church-going type) and confirmation and shit and I never really thought about it. Once I started questioning religion and Christianity, I realized what a joke it was and simply stopped going. My mom never forced me to go, but she'd push it on me sometimes. She always let it go though when I told her I wasn't interested. For about the last 10 years, we haven't even really discussed religion or anything. What my mom does is up to her and as long as she's happy, I support her. It's just not for me and she understands that, but it doesn't stop her from occasionally trying to tell me how good it is to embrace God. All I do now is a quick laugh and a subject change and all's good.
However, I'm getting to the point now where I think I need to directly tell her that I absolutely do no tbelieve in any God or Jesus or religion and want nothing to with any of those things in my life AND death. I realized this at my grandfather's funeral. It was very religiosly based and I started thinking that if I somehow died suddenly before my parents, they'd put together the same kind of thing for me. I DO NOT WANT THAT. So I gotta say something eventually, but it's hard when I know that getting into a conversation about such a sensitive topic probably will not end well. I get along absolutely perfectly with my parents and I don't want to bring anything up that could hurt that.
