PinkSugar Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I'm only home for a week but its still very frustrating. They switch back and forth from acting like I am a Christian and acting like they know I'm not. Examples: Came home, found a bible on my bed. Tracts about "What if there really is a god?" on the fridge. They have the mentality of "You are in our house, you will "respect" our religion". I try to remain vague about my reason for not wanting to do religious things when they suggest them (e.g. "I want to sleep in" instead of "I will have a panic attack if I go"). I can't be blatantly defiant because they do support me right now and I love them, but I can't go along with everything because it makes me physically uncomfortable(panic attacks are not pleasant). Anyone else dealing with this now/dealt with it in the past? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrummerScott Posted March 13, 2011 Share Posted March 13, 2011 I will be...Except they won't know I'm an atheist. They still think I'm a catholic I might end up telling them over my break...but we'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smellincoffee Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 I've had to live with my very Christian (Pentecostal) parents since graduating university in the middle of a recession, but aside from the ocassional invite to church, I avoid most of the flak. Having to listen to prolonged discussions about the disaster-of-the-week and its significance in the destruction of the world tomorrow isn't exactly PLEASANT, though.
