So My Intolerant Narrow Minded Catholic Parents Try To Force Their Religion On Me....

It may not be Chinese, but I understand the Salvation Army has a soup kitchen in skid row you might enjoy.

Who pays for that phone?

I was confirmed but my situation was nothing like that in the video. I started becoming Atheist attending a catholic high school when the religion teacher was like “You just need to trust him, it only makes sense to him” My religion had left me with more questions then answers. So I transfered out about 2 years ago but my parents did not think it was about religion back then.

SeanHallam, don’t mind us. After all, you did post in The Pit, which allows a bit more freedom for insults, whether warranted or not.

Nevertheless, many points by posters are valid. Sometimes life a just a bunch of compromises. When you have your own abode, you can make your own rules. Until then, it might be best to suck it up.

I have some fundie cousins who join my table for dinner when they’re nearby. They offer a prayer for the food before every meal; it’s a ritual, and I don’t stop them, although I don’t participate. However, I do remind them that I, personally, had more with putting the food on the table than their mythical sky daddy, and if anyone should be thanked, it is me, who they can plainly see in front of them.

And they usually do. So I guess I’m up there in the ranks with their gods. Not so shabby.

If they don’t like something I cook, I remind them that God was the provider.

What is this? Just because the guy is a kid, he can’t rant about his crazy-bejesus parents?

It is a Motorola Cliq 2 I bought used about 2 years ago for $60. I have prepaid service from tmobile and it costs me about $15 a month in airtime which I pay for.

He kinda sounds like you eh, Oaky?

You get use of a free message board yet you complain every fucking day about it. Go make your own message board you ungrateful little shit! :wink:

Well since God has not put food on any tables for over 2000 years(sarcasm) they should always thank you first

So he has to to pretend to believe something he doesn’t, and act accordingly?, I’m sorry I don’t buy it, I don’t care if he’s 4 or 40 (well, maybe if you’re 40 you should get your life together instead of complaining in the internet), no one should to have to pretend to be someone they’re not or believe/think/have an opinion they don’t, just to be treated like a decent human being.

Exactly.

Why are you being such an asshole?

Jesus hates you and will send you to hell where you’ll roast for ever while boils grow to the size of basketballs and explode all over your body, including your eyeballs, and electric eels crawl from your ears and nostrils as Hitler Tazes you for eternity as he turns up the gas while haranguing you for your life lived as a loser.

Anyone can go to Mass. Only believers are supposed to take communion.

I don’t think you are tolerant, though. You think they are “kissing the ass of a fake entity” and are “happy ignoring science and living in ignorance”. I mean, they think you are misguided. You think they are fucking idiots, willfully lying to themselves out of a cowardly unwillingness to face a harsh truth.

I am not at all religious. My mom is very religious. I don’t have to agree with her to see that her beliefs are important to her, and I am not going to mock anything that’s of great importance to someone else. I mean, I don’t understand golf, but I’m willing to believe that the people that put so much into it are getting something they find worthwhile out of it.

It’s what he does.

The army will make him Catholic?

Holy cats, could you possibly sound more bitter and ancient? There’s nothing in the OP or his subsequent posts that would support any of this conjecture. OH MY GOD A TEENAGER DOES NOT SHARE HIS PARENT’S RELIGION OH THE HUMANITY.

He’s a born loser who misses the good ol’ days in high school when he could bully kids smaller than him and steal their lunch money.

Physician … heal thyself.

Good point. I got a good verbal take down from a date once for taking communion because I’m a Protestant. Raised a Presbyterian, communion is not a regular part of worship services, but a few special times a year. There is usually a long sermon about not taking communion if you are not in the right frame of mind.

So compromise – go to church and bone every virgin you meet there.
