I feel ya bro.

Most of my family is like that. My mom always talks about christianity all the time. I hate it whenever something bad goes wrong(say she drops her bible in dirt) and she goes off and curses the devil because she thinks he did it, or whenever somthing good happens it is jesus blessing her. its annoying. I go "mom dont you think maybe some of this stuff just happens?"

Wish I could have a conversation with my mother without having it to do with jesus/bible/god/prayer yadda yadda. *sigh*

most christians I know are friggin hypocrites and are quite the mockery of there so called christianity. I've yet to find a true christian that embodies what the religion is really about, being a true image of christ.

I agree with you fully but I don't believe in a God anymore since around pre-teen but if you wish to believe fine because I don't really care or do not want to be considered a hypocrite over it.

Umm.. 80% of the U.S. is Christian. But to answer your rant, when I ask for God's help, things turn out good. I don't know if it's confidence, the relaxation of knowing God is with you, or what... but things just seem to go good then. But it's your life, believe what you want. I'm not trying to convert you.

Yeah wasn't sure on percentage and I don't mean to offend christians but sometimes they take it to extremes and btw it's confidence trust me. God's not going to help you you've got to help yourself and I had to learn that the hard way...

So now that i'm living on my own i've been away from my family for awhile and every time I go over to one of their houses they start this whole thing about believeing in God will make my life better. Most of this comes from my mother who knows that my life in the past was bad and until recently it's goten way better even without saying her so called 'prayer'. I haven't believed in this since I was 11 or 12 and she is always saying I need forgiveness if I want my soul saved and i'm all like wut. Now this wouldn't be bad if she didn't start her preaching to me like every time I come to visit and my grandmother who completely hates people who have preferences such as gays. Now I have no problem with Gays and when I mention about how not even half the population in the U.S. believes this stuff or so last time i've checked? She goes all in denial and I say you wouldn't even have fredom if you hadn't used the Native Americans and she says "they died for a purpose" Stuff like this greatly offends me due to being part Cherokee.

My mother agrees with everything this old hag spews out and every single time she asked me questions about my beliefs I answer fully while I ask one simple question or two and I get a answer that trails off the original path. I think we all can agree that without religion this world would be more at peace and such. I have no reason to believe in such things that have no proof that exist other than a book written by human-beings lol. My whole family is all up into this religion bs and there is no way to escape their constant gripes since I was a teen.. So I came to OT to vent and ask for tips about what to say to these christian fanatics who think people of sexual preference , cultures and different race will burn for eternity.
