I've heard that if you're over 18 you should stop going to church because you're a legal adult. Well, I didn't go this last Sunday and my mom was unsurprisingly not happy about it.
She asked me why I didn't go and I came up with some excuses that I didn't want to associate with the people there because they were bigoted and that my conscious didn't feel it was right. So anyways, we argued for a bit and she said that the bible says I ought to go to church. She also was saying that I should have a biblical reason if I'm not going to go.
So far, I haven't even told her that I'm not a xtian anymore and I think I may prefer it that. Heaven forbid if I should ever decide to not be a xtian! I wonder if she would ever stop hassling me!
Just so you know how fucked her thinking is she seems to think a lot of stuff is Satan's fault. When I told her the excuse regarding my conscious, she said she thought the devil was messing with my conscious. In an ironic way, that is almost true but that's not the point. She also said that she thought the devil tried to stop her from going to church by hindering and inconveniencing her. My last example is way crazier than the previous two. Once when I was with her and she was flipping through the channels, she stopped on a really retarded xtian show. It involved two sickening people who have no business being parents. The mother left her baby in a bathtub with the water running and left to go talk on the phone or something else as pointless. When she came back, the baby was drowning in the filling bathtub. Did you notice that I said she left the water on? It was serious enough that the baby needed to go to the hospital. Guess who the father blamed for this? That's right, Satan. Being someone who considers himself a Satanist, I was of course quite angry. I exclaimed towards the T.V. that it was not Satan but the stupid parents. Mom however disagreed! Oh no, Satan did it all right! Oh really Mom, well then why the fuck would the not so good lord let it happen!? But god saved the baby, and besides it's not like he can prevent every bad thing from happening. Mmm-hmm, or is it actually the fact that the xtian god doesn't do fucking shit for nobody!?
So yeah, you see why that might be kind of bitch if I told her? The devil would of course have to be responsible! Oh dear, I got to save my little boy from the big bad Satan! Seriously, doesn't my mom sound like a paranoid mental patient!? And if super xtian Mom can't save me, well then she can always try to run to ultra xtian Grandma for help or maybe even ask the "Robots R' Us" church to pray! Actually, I might prefer dealing with Grandma rather than Mom because she seems a little more soft spoken, unaggressive, and sensitive. The worst I might expect from Grandma for not going to church are a few stern or sad words, possibly followed by crying. That's another thing, when visiting Grandma for the holidays, it actually has been a bit of a tradition to attend her church. A lot of the family would certainly get upset if I stopped going. Oh well, Grandma will probably be dead some time soon in the future, then it will likely slow down.
So anyways, has anyone been in the same type of position? What would you do? Should I continue to refuse to go to church even if it might mean I will be frequently pestered about it? Could there possibly be any effective bible verses I could use to justify my not going? Or could it actually be better just to go to keep the peace? After all, it's not often that my family goes to church. How far do you think the demons would want me to take church non-attendance? I'd ask but I don't have that ability right now.
I have a couple or so ideas about how I might use the bible and such to give a reason to not go to church but they might make my family think I'm crazy rather than devoted to my (fake) xtian faith.
Anyways, any advice would be appreciated. Besides that, take it easy and wish me a happy birthday if you want! My birthday will be coming up this next month!
