For the past month or so, all of these misfortunes that they have been getting into. Not having a furnace in the house (rolls eyes) and not having much money for bills(which they put them selves in with credit card dept) so they think that now since they go sit in a church every sunday that they are going to get a miracle. So im an atheist myself, but I don't tell them that I am an Atheist I let the believe what they want about my and the Christian religion.

So today my mom comes back home, and talks about how they are having bad luck because my sister is a lesbian and sleeps with other women, and how the preacher was telling them about how mothers shouldn't mother there sons... And all I could say is "Brain washed". So now I'm trying to avoid my parents.

Also about a week ago I opened a bible to read something out of it and my dad yells "DO PLAY WITH THAT BIBLE!" I was like, wow! You can't even look in the damned thing? Honestly I am thinking about moving with my friends we all work and go to college, I can't take all of this sudden Bible thumping. Other Atheist any suggestions?

Religion preys on the weak. Ignore it it's just a phase.

You're a bad driver, you didn't study enough, and because the person who made you that sandwhich is a smoker. Surprise, god wants us to make it happen ourselves.

Clearly your parents aren't true Christians son. That's the problem.

Now I'm not claiming to be a Christian, and I'm definitely not an atheist however I can tell you with certainty that true Christians do not judge.

Christians are supposed to be merciful, self-sacrificing, long suffering, non-judgmental and always willing to show love, courtesy and kindness to anyone and everyone, whether they be lesbian or not. Now Christians may not agree with homosexuality, but they also realize that condemning someones actions is just as wicked, its not the place of any christian to judge, believing that judgment exists between the heart of a man and woman and God alone. If God sees what is in your heart and not what you show on the outside its easy to see where human "Christians" could so often come off flawed in their efforts to spread Gods love. The best thing to do is to realize your parents are trying to do what they believe is right according to their own convictions and as long as you walk a path of justice as your heart directs you. Guided not by hate or baseless wrath and bias but instead following your hearts conviction to do what you TRULY believe is right. You can't go wrong walking that path.

Take their newfound strong beleifs a bit less seriously. Let them beleive what they want, so that you can hope for the same treatment. Compromise and remember they are only human.

All of those were your own fault( with the exception of the car accident, which most likely was preventable)

I think they should start going to a church that isnt so judgemental all the time. My church talks about things that can get you to hell but they never say anybody specific or imply it too anybody (well excpet that one time when they implied it about Hugh Heffner) but seriously they should go to a nonjudgemental church because it makes all the difference in the world.

Man I'm glad I go to a church where my preacher doesn't teache people how to judge others. Just today he talked about how even he's not perfect and a sinner to remind everyone that no one is better than anyone else. I doubt I'll ever leave that church....

When my friend had a foster parent... he was like that...

He thought because the game Diablo had "satan" in it, it would bring bad luck upon them all.

He also gave me a speach about Jesus before I came in his house.
