Momma Drama (rant/WWJD)

So what do you say to a person that after fighting with you forever about religion, hanging up on you because now that you're out you ain't going back into the atheist closet for anything, and generally acting like they failed because you do not believe no matter what they say to you about it, now tosses it of as (get this):

The measles shot I got as a kid, and got so sick from after receiving it, may be the cause of my "different" learning abilities, and may even be a form of very non-invasive autism that has caused me to "learn different".....and I know this means not believe in some supernatural gumball machine that lives past the clouds, considering the source.

How would you react if your Mother thought you might be mildly retarded because you hold zero belief, and thinks that she even pinpointed the situation to a VACCINATION? What do you even SAY to this?

I'm lost. I'm sick of getting mad at her, too. I don't know what to say to the woman any longer.

.....Why don't I drink more?.....

Thanks for reading. Ignore me if you'd like. Laughing

Ask her to be consistant.
Why is she grasping for 'rational' explanations for your lack of faith?
Where is it in the bibble that states that nonbelievers are predetermined and are hellbound regardless of earthly intervention?
Who is she to question God?

"Mom, I DO NOT BELIEVE IN GOD and I never will. You DO believe in God and always will. That's the way it is, so please learn to live with it and quit making me feel like I'm worthless just because I don't share your beliefs." Then change the subject. You will have to repeat this about 250 times because Christians tend to be slow learners. Your mother truly believes you are going to the lake of fire and she wants to save your soul so you'll be in heaven with her forever. Too bad. If "God" (whatever that is) wanted you to be in heaven, he would make you a believer. Smile

I see that in USA you usually have this kind of problem with your family or with your society in general. In a third world country like mine, not even my family care about my religion, and nobody fight about that, cause finding a really religious person is really hard around here. But in North America I see are too many 'bible people', like your mother.

But well, take care.

ShaSha, you give good advice. I will try to let this one go, as much for her as for myself. Really, really. Laughing

It'll be there in the back of my head though...."My own mother thinks I may be retarded." But you're right I need to stop the focusing. I'm pretty sure I'm not a dummy.

Of course they aren't listening. They are like toddlers who have just found out that their little 3-year-old friend doesn't believe in Santa Claus. What?? No Santa?? Then where do the presents come from?? Substitute "God" for "Santa" and "morals" for "presents" and you have the Christian attitude in a nutshell. I'm sure you've already heard the "How can you be a good person without God?" argument, as well as the "Then you must think life has no meaning," and the "Wouldn't you rather believe in God and be right, then not believe in God and be wrong?" arguments. Laughing

I've kind of destroyed my family's religion so bad. They are all either Homer Simpson believers or atheist basically. The only negative thing related to religion with me was my mom asking me if I were gay... I explained that I'm out of the atheist closet; I'd have no problem coming out of the fag closet. Unfortunately im not gay so I cant use it as an advantage.

I have a friend in the military who was gay(also in the navy ironically) who literally went to a firefighter station looking to get a job and said that they arent hiring unless he was a minority. He asked what kind of minority they are hiring. They pulled out a list and homosexual was on the list. He explained to them that he was a fag. They then discriminate against him right in his face right on camera. He makes a scene and the whole thing went to court(not all the way to court)... government official in a sense discriminating after saying they will only hiring minorities... he got a nice settlement to keep it quiet. He then joined the navy for the hell of it. Where he kind of messed that up a little bit. He is apparently a friend of the MORAN Queen from the UK. His picture that he displayed in his room was of him and the queen. The sergeant or whatever asked him if the photo was photoshopped. He said no that he was a friend to the queen. The sergeant then hated the fact that he believed he lied outright to the him. So they started fucking him over and then started getting on his case so much to get him to break... but then he wouldnt do it because he was so fit. They then started calling him a fag and a woman and stuff... trying to mess with him psychologically. Too which he took badly. They then washed him out of the platoon and he couldnt get on to another platoon so he essentially had to quit. BUT he started a harassment investigation so they kept him in the forces because they want minorities in the forces... not to mention they dont want minorities to be harassed and quitting. So he was just sitting around doing nothing for a year while I was around. The harassment thing eventually came back with nothing because nobody would talk. However he proved a couple things... like he'd gotten a christmas card from the queen. Plus a couple other things; but he still got out of the military.

As for Original topic Smile

... Stop talking with your mother completely. If she ever calls... Say "hello; I'm sorry I'm too retarded to understand you." Then hang-up. Why bother dealing
