Yeah. I'm in an akward situation myself concerning church. My Dad makes me go to church and my atheistic beliefs totally go against what the Southern Baptist(or any other fundamentalist church for that matter) believes, it feels very awkward going, I hate that people may associate me with that fucking crowd. And yes my Dad knows I'm an atheist.
I'm not surprised if it was someone from some Baptist organization, my Dad did tell me that the members of the church I go to prsy for my salvation at the prayer meetings, but their prayers are in vain.

It was probably your dad who sent.

You're 18. You don't have to go to church or do something you do not want to. I mean what are your parents going to do put you in time out ha. Stand up.

^I did everything I could with words last time I had a big religious argument with my Dad, and it didn't work, it probably made matters worse but I really don't know what to do.

 

[Krigloch the Furious]

kill him with a giant cross

 

[Xorv]

Take them to an athesit church. That'll show em'. Now who's feeling out of place? eh?

 

[CF87]

You could start inverting the crosses on the wall and your parents will think satan did it and is real!!!... but it's just U bluewizard!

 

[~Derek~]

^There are a couple crosses on the walls thorughout the house, and a picture of Jesus too, they're all in the dining room. There's angel statues all throughout the house though. Sounds like a good plan.

 

[skeptik]

Either just don't go or talk to your pastor and explain your situation. My parents had me go for a little bit after I told them I was an atheist, but I was 12, so it's a little different. And yet I still work at that church as a janitor. I just go to church on fridays and clean toilets and sweep floors, as opposed to sundays and stand there like a dumbass for an hour.

 

[~Derek~]

^How liberal was the church denomination you went to? I seriously doubt the preacher at the church I go to would accept me being an atheist, he'd probably pull out some scare tactics and try to convert me with a lot of persuasion. And he probably supports what my Dad is doing too.

 

[skeptik]

Fucking stab him then.

 

[Ender Rises]

Fucking stab him then.

I wholeheartedly agree.

 

[Xorv]

Don't stab him. He wants to die.

 

[Ender Rises]

That reminds me of the scene in Pirates of the Caribbean 2 when Davy Jones orders the guy killed because he didn't fear death. Davy Jones is metal as fuck in 2 but he gets to be a little bit of a bitch in 3, despite some good moments.


















Don't bitch at me, I didn't give away any spoilers.

Honestly, forcing your athiest kid to go to church should be considered child abuse.

yeah im forced to go and i told my mom to go fuck her god (quote courtesy of deicide) and she smiled and said god bless you and its like wtf, another time she tried exorcising me

 

[zabu of nΩd]

Take them to an athesit church.

Yeah, 'cause all the atheists go to the atheist church.

From my understanding, it's pretty hard to stand up against your parents on something like religion. If they're brainwashed and fanatical enough, they'll either just ignore you, or if you actually get your point across, their heads will explode and they'll live the rest of their lives in agony that they didn't raise their child properly and that he/she's going to suffer eternal damnation. What can you really do in a situation like that, besides just smile and appease them?

 

[Zephyrus]

I got confirmed a couple months ago, so I'm not obligated by my parents to go to mass. I do by my own choice. My church is relatively liberal, anyways.

 

[Hammer of Might]

Hail Secularism.

 

[Xorv]

Yeah, 'cause all the atheists go to the atheist church.

hell yes they do! Athiest at atheist church telling the rest how much god hasn't done with their lives. Reading scriptures out of Newsweek and praising how much god had nothing to do with how messed up this world is. Passing around crackers and saying: "this is NOT the body of christ, its just a cracker"

Singing, in chorus, timeless classics such as, commies for christ, The Jews Killed Jesus, Poor jesus, christianity is stupid, and many others...
