Something so unbelievable happened just now.

I was reading from my encyclopedia of mythology when I noticed Noah, Moses, Adam and Eve and Yahweh (sp) were mentioned. I showed this to my dad, he read it, kept laughing to himself like some ignorant bigot. I asked what he thought, and he said that just because (the Christian) God was mentioned doesn't mean it's a myth. Um, hello? He then goes onto say "Don't believe everything you read". Wow, can anyone say 'hypocrite'? Here we have someone, aka my dad, telling me to not believe everything I read whenever I present to him anything that goes against supernatural events, and yet he believes a book written over 2,000 years ago to be actual historical truth. Next, I asked him if he thought I was going to hell and he just laughed like some stupid, childish bigot again.

My mom then chimed in with "I believe in hell". I said that if there really is such a place, I'd rather go there than to heaven with all the illogical, racist, hypocritcal bigots. I asked her if she thought I was going to hell and she said no, "because you were saved in 2nd grade". She then went on to say that maybe I should start going to church. I literally started crying at this stupidity. What's more, my mom kept telling me to respect others' opinions while my dad kept saying that it's just a matter of faith. I honestly don't get what the fuck is wrong with my parents. It is so pointless to try and debate with them about religion. I try to explain the history of religion and my dad always comes back with the response, "There was always 'religion' that wasn't right" or something of the sort.

So. Fucking. Frustrating. It's literally IMPOSSIBLE to explain to someone history that they refuse to accept. 0 Comments - Post/view comments
