Angry Catholic Mother angry at Atheist son

Ironically, Christmas is a pagan festival.

LOL it WAS funny

I never believed in god in the first place, so i win. Although my mum does go to church every sunday

We've always been a religious family. When I was little I hated church and thought it was a waste of a sunday morning when I could be watching Looney Tunes. Then when I got older I realized church was a good thing. It teaches morals, kindness, generosity, and it gives people a reason to live. 

My mom and dad didn't care when I told them, it really made no difference. I'm Atheist and they're both Agnostic.

For my step-mother though... She threw a fit, only way I stopped her was by hosing her down.

"Bah, I have to say more. I don't see why it is so funny. Put yourself in that woman's shoes. It appears she really believes her religion, and if she's raised her son that way, you should understand why she would be upset. If she really believes that there is a God who will save us, it makes sense that she'd snap at the thought that her son won't be saved. "

I know this is terrible and is probably going to swing the this thread in the complete wrong direction but I really don't understand how people can REALLY believe in God. I just don't see how it is plausible to anyone who is thinking rationally. I don't get how someone can read the Bible and truly believe that there is this mysterious entity living in the sky who governs everything we do. It just doesn't make any sense to me and I don't get how it could make any sense to anyone else. I'm not trying to bash religious people but I really am confused. "

the same way hitler (not compairing religion to hitler here or anything of that nature, just the only thing i can think of as a comparison) was able to convince everyone that the nazi party was actually a good thing. most people are taught from a young age to believe in a god or a religion, and during that time, a humans brain is trying to absorb as much information as possible in order to survive. A human doesnt instinctively know that walking out into the middle of a highway is a bad thing, he must be taught by his elders not to do so. Same thing works with religion, a human who is born doesnt naturally believe in a god or religion, so by tradition, he must be taught to. "

That cat made my day. Hell, it made my month.

And that lady should look around and see how far up her rectum her head is.

That was fantastic.

My family is still dealing with the fact that I don't believe in god, they aren't crazy religious but everytime the subject is brought up they try to make me change my mind.

Mothers like that should be killed.
