The Family That Prays Together, Separates

Attention Catholic mothers: please do not force your atheist 16-year-old son to put everything aside to watch a church programme that is in your native tongue that you didn't bother to teach him- it will be annoying to him on multiple levels. Do not slap, scratch, or repeatedly hit them in an attempt to force them to pay attention. It does not help your case, and it makes your beliefs look crazier in the end.

Attention atheist sons: Do not put up such a good argument as to back your religious mother into a corner, forcing her to call out your father. Make no attempts to explain to her that you cannot go to hell if you don't believe it exists, because her return argument is 100% guaranteed to be that you will go anyway.

Attention fathers of atheist sons who are arguing with their moms: If your stance on the matter is that religion is corrupt and faith is not, explaining why you don't go to church every Sunday, like your wife would like to have happen, find an easier way to break the news than "you're wrong; you can take him to church but you can't literally force him to believe in what you believe, that's his choice," and refrain from explaining exactly why religion is corrupt to the religious wife because you can hear the shattering in their voice when they are in denial about what you say. Especially do not raise your voice in the matter when Religious Wife decides that it's your fault that the child is "broken" because of your infrequent church attendance.

You're like, some kinda chop-busting machine, aren't you?

@Juju obviously there were things to add as none of what I added had been poasted yet. And I should be able to state my side things like everyone else did.

Also I'm pretty sure kilin (auto correct keeps wanting to call you kilimanjaro :p) was joking. If not then "but kilin, I thought liked having other writers present :( and what would Fsx say if he found out you liked a girl off the site? O_O"

But honestly I'm not being negative about all of this so you don't need to be either.

Of course I was joking. I wanted to be Snakeman for one glorious moment.

Read the first page of comments… Wait, I'll pop down the quote here:

Snore. Another religion debate that completely misses the point. Incidentally, if anyone posts any pro/anti-religion arguments, have a personal "fuck you" from me to you.
Rest assured, I am not biased for or against theists.

I am, however, biased against theology.

You'll always be Snakeman to me, Kilin.

Well, you can't DISPROVE it.
Sometimes I think the world would be a better place if nobody supported their statements in comment threads.

EDIT @flashback, if you didn't realise, I was being sarcastic. Bonus points were scored because you actually bothered to prove it

FBEDIT: Well don't ask me to prove things if you don't want them proved (please do not ask me to prove P=NP)
