Brent Feeney said… My pleasure Brandi! =) I'm getting the same crap from my family. I came out as an atheist to them a couple of weeks ago, during a birthday get-together, and my mom said "well, one of us is going to be wrong, and I hope it's not you." Kind of arrogant, I think.
Still new at it though, even after a year, and still trying to figure out where I am. But it's a start.
Anyway, hope we can chat soon and hope you have a great weekend!!

Yeah, you are lucky your mom feels that way. I've had my problems with my family in the past as well - long, long story there - but at least we tried to discuss it without getting heated. I did tell them "nothing you say or do will make me love you any less," and both my mom and sister agreed with that.
So...what do you have going this weekend?

I posted the bulk of this on another thread, but wanted to add some context separately.
I finally confronted my faith and embraced the fact of my atheism late last August, 2012. Days after I revealed my "epiphany" to a few friends who knew me from another message board, my sister died from Lou Gehrig's Disease (which pissed her off because she hated catching a disease from someone she never f---ed).
THAT was my sister, understand? She was a beautiful, life-loving, potty-mouthed…

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…
