i hear ya..my mom made me go to church till i was 13 i put a stop to that! i told her i believe there is a higher power but i dont believe in the hipicrites in the church..they are the worst ones lol..the boys of st vincents tell her to watch that movie..! you have to find your own way to be one with the earth.for me again i told mom when im out in nature i feel closer to god then in a man made building..and good luck on the religious cards..mine still sends me the sappy card everytime..lol
matter of factly, she may respect the confidence and certainty you demonstrate... mom, i'm not interested in your faith... i'm enjoying my life and living it appropriately to my standards... i don't appreciate your "good" intentions and constant harassment of a particular perspective... let's just be mom and son, nothing else.
I remember from the old Kung Fu TV series, the old abbot saying, "Kindness, always kindness."
If your mom someday really forces the issue, I'd say don't disrespect yourself by saying you believe things you don't, and remember people have their limitations: hers may be her religion, and if it pushes her away from you there's nothing you can do about that but accept it as something you can't change.
Just be kind, and the memory of that will be the light she can hold in her heart, over time.
Get some friends and get advice from them instead of posting a video on the internet where random strangers who have no intention of helping you will be "helping" you.
My mother's the same way, some people see it differently , but I've never seen a reason to tell her I don't believe in god.I've never said it, but she knows. My mom loves god, and loves me. & what makes her happy is her kids, & practicing her religion. The way I see it, she is trying to share her happiness with me, why shit on that? I just listen to to her, & when I'm in town I go to church & laugh to myself - But life is about being happy, who am I to tell her she's wrong?
@mackles I see what you are saying. But the fact is that is not what religion is about. I mean there is a bunch of screwed up shit in the books religious people read. And some people want to go by these screwed up things. And I geuss it's the whole objective morality discussion what you think about that.
Bro... She loves you more than anything & she wants you to come to a personal relationship with the God of this Universe through the saving knowledge of
This kind of family drama is reason enough to hate religion. This guy's mother somehow, on the basis of her belief in an irrational fantasy, gets to force her children to lie about their lives, stress out over how to speak to her, and tiptoe around her as if she's dangerously unstable. And then religious people accuse US of being self-centered!
tell her you feel sorry for someone who believes their own son is going to hell just because they don't believe in their praticular god...and that your fine,and you're gonna be fine,so she can stop worrying lol Although that won't make her stop worrying.So just accept her viewpoints are right for her even though she won't accept that your viewpoint are right for you
religion has nothing to do with going to heaven. you want to know if your on your way to heaven. the answer to this questions will tell you. did you recieve jesus in your heart as your lord and savior. the answer to that will tell you if your headed to heaven or not
I know how you feel...my whole family are religious wackos....since I don't go all batty like them, they barely speak to me even though I'm a good person. I'm telling them that I don't judge them for believing things I don't believe in, so I'd appreciate them giving me the same respect.
Man they don't even know their own history! So test your mom!... 1572 st. Bartholomew's Day massacre 10,000 Protestants killed throughout Europe by The Catholics, why? "My religion is better then yours!" French War Of Religion lasted 31 years, lots more died. I bet your priests don't teach your that. Everyone needs to know it.
However, it may happen that your mom is adamant and believes the illogical fantasies even if shown that they're not true. She would refuse to use her brain and keep throwing religious dogma at you, and never listen to what you have to say. In that case, there's only one thing. Get straight to the point. Tell her you're an atheist, and she can't change that. Tell her if she doesn't want an atheist in the house, you'll move out. And really, just move out & find a place to live as a happy atheist.
Continue pretending to be a Christian who wants to get closer to God by studying the Bible. In turn, find the problems and errors in the Bible and question your mom about them. How can God do this? How can that be so? If your mom uses her brain, she will see the errors you find in the Bible and become an atheist herself. Two birds with one stone!
Oh god no, I've done the same thing. Only people who have always been uncertain are swayed by flaws in their bible. Man some christians I've met, scare the hell out of me. And they always have the stupidest word that can protect them from any argument. Faith. Pisses me off, it's their scapegoat. Rationality+Christians=?
It's been 3 years since this video. You haven't told your mom yet? I hope you did.
As an answer to the question, religious people are highly intolerant and will be so, no matter how grand a show of tolerance they put up. If your mom happens to be someone who uses her brain, you could first of all read up atheist books, and study Christianity with a critical mind. Share with her what you learn without appearing that you're atheist.
If she truly loves you she will accept you. (Also even though I'm an atheist I always like to brush up on my scripture, so I have an argument in case they pull a Leviticus on me)
You have to understand that your mother has been subject to many many years of brainwashing... Explain to her the value of rational thought over belief in superstition and hope for the best...
wut u should do is: u should tell her your gay, make her believe ur gay, and then relieve her by telling her that ur not gay, but u r an atheist. she'll be relieved.
Just tell her. My entire family has been Jewish, and a year ago I finally stepped up and told my dad I thought it was bullshit. Not in those words, mind you, but he got the message. My parents yelled at me for a while, but what were they going to do? Disown me?
@blomstersenter Did I not just say not in those words? But yes, I am aethiest. So? I could just as easily take the side of a Muslim and say that you're going to hell. Too many doctrines, and not one of them makes any sense.
yeah your going to strait to he'll. You'll burn in the fires of he'll. And I'm sure Satin will have a word or too for you. (if you are going to insult one of us, first you need to learn to spell)
lol, I guess, hmm, dunno. Well, my experience wasn't too good, my mom basically freaked out over me for a few weeks, but had to get over it. I guess, you just gotta tell the truth and deal with it.
well if she truely loves you and excepts you as a son then she won't care, and just except it. my mom belives in creationism and I belive in evolution but that dosen't stop anything between us. sorry if I'm late.
You are entitled to your own opinion, but I understand not wanting to offend your mother.
If you want to remain close to her, you should just lie about it for the rest of her life.
If you would rather be more independent, however, you should just be honest, and tell her that you feel oppressed by her ways of forcing ideas down your throat, and that you need to just be yourself.
you can just say hey mum i dont really believe in god. unless shes a crazy ass woman that thinks she is a descendant of jesus christ then i think shell accept your personal views.
Just be straight up and honest with her, that's the best you can do, I'm sure she'll still love you no matter what, you are her son after all. I thought that telling my parents about my lack of desire for religion was going to be bad, but it wasn't really bad at all. After you tell her though, just try to not talk about religion as much as possible. After all, debating and intolerance over religion is what what ruins relationships between others.
just grow a pair of balls and tell her. I told my parents I was agnostic when I was a junior in high school. I was still living there, was it rocky for a few months? sure it was, but they accepted it and they still love me. He doesn't even live at home anymore he doesn't even have to deal with that shit. I call no backbone on this guy
My belief is that if you have chosen Christianity, at least admit it was a choice. Kind of like a lifestyle decision. Jesus did not make himself known to you. Your mind has decided to believe a set of rules that no longer apply to our modernized civilization. Life is simpler and more beautiful without God.
I would tell her straight out. You have a right to enjoy your life in your way, and if she's a true Christian she'll accept you for it (isn't that the message of Christianity anyway??)
Convert to Åsatru (norse mythology/religion) Show up at her home drunk and wearing nothing but a thorshammwer pendant and say you found god, and his name is odin, and his son is named thor and thor has a big hammer!
First tell her that you're gay, then that could make being an Atheist not so bad or it could make it worse, but you've most likely have told her by now already
I'D TOTALLY SHOW UP TO YOUR MOM'S HOUSE UNANNOUNCED, DRESSED UP AS A PUNK ROCKER WHO IS WEARING A PENTACLE (THE ANCIENT PAGAN SYMBOL). just to tick her off.
on a more serious note: I would advice you to tell her what you think because you are an adult who is entitled to your own opinions and judgments.
If god acually did exist he wouldnt say if you dont believe in me you goto Hell!, its only the sick christians mind that cameup with that pathetic crap, christians comeup with something better then your goin to hell, Cause NoBody Gives A shit If they are Or Not.
as a Christian, I would like to point out that not all of us force this down people's throat. Look, I personally respect all view, even if I don't believe them. Let all intolerence stop.
i like the light i like the dark i like life i like death. I am the one many of you would call a heathen, I call myself Human
We are all dif and some people dont like that. if god truly loves you he wont cair that you dont beleve, he would be like a parent you might hate them of ignore them, but they still love you and will forgive you because your his child
(im an atheist and that is what i said to my parents)
You won't go to hell. A good, kind &loving person like you wil go to a place where there is goodness, kindness & love.
Hells are for people who do evils & their evil deeds in their lives create a hell for them.
The Christian heaven does not exist because it is not a perfect place. How can one be happy when u know many of your loved ones (non-christian relatives & friends) are being tormented in hell for eternality?
i never thought of that... but your knd of right. i'm not really big on anything, but i think that if (IF!) there was a hell, it would be like jail and you would do the time for the crime(s) you've done.
Yeah, you can say that again, talking snakes, living inside a whale for 3 days and coming out alive, people actually sprouting wings and flying to "heaven" ressurecting people from the dead , you know, stuff like that.
You might as well be straight up honest. Sooner or later your mother will have to accept that you are an individual with your own ideas. She'll get used to the idea.
Religion is Bullshit believe in what you want and good morals.Just say im not religious. The thing is is that you have to find God for yourself Church isnt going to save you and relgion isnt either jesus himself was against religion. Pray and ask God for a revelation.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
You want some advice here it is Tell your mom That you are happy to go to hell If she is right and you are wrong But that would be a lie Because no one is happy Having their life Painfully snuffed out in hell Guess what The Bible says that hell is The destination of many And that few will follow Christ If you turn from your sins And turn to Christ Then spend the rest of your days Thanking God for a praying mother
She shouldn't think you're going to hell! It is not right for people to force their religion on other people! IT'S WRONG!!! Jeez....people....pudding..
Remind her that only a very bad person would ever threaten people with being burned alive for worshiping him. And tell her she should stop all that blood drinking on Sunday. It is yucky!
you'll miss it when you're older and she's gone... it's her way of loving you. just put up with it. it could be worse. at least you weren't brainwashed.
Keeping the Jesus clock and the Good Disciple objects around aren't helping, they're just misleading her. I'd say tell her; if she really thinks at that point that you're going to hell, ask her at what point in the Bible it states that specifically. If she cannot point it out, you have her. If she points to something she believes to be proof, ask her if she really wants to believe in a religion that would condemn her son so capriciously and without any evidence to back the claim that it can
Appeasing people for the sake of "protecting" their feelings is absolutely absurd and nonsense! It is YOUR life and only YOU are responsible for demanding and achieving satisfaction. If you don't take a stand now I fear for your future as you seem to capitulate to people just to avoid confrontation. Life's too short to spend any amount of time pondering what other people think about you, even if it's your parents. Just use the Carl Sagan on her and say we are nothing more than a pale blue dot!
Show her the hundreds (thousands?) of horrendous offensive scriptures of her bible. Ask her what she thinks of 'cutting open pregnant woman' or 'bashing infants skull against the stones'. Ask her to be a roll model for you. Tell her to go stone to death a disbeliever or gay person (show her gods orders to do this). Tell her to show she is willing to obey, then you will consider it.
I'm sure you're past it by now BUT if you want some help on this front read: "Getting Real" by Susan Campbell. Just be real with everyone. It's hard I know but once you begin it you will realize how good you will feel. Be real, pal. ( :
I assume that you are a grown man living on your own? If so, then just leave it be.. one day your mom will be passed away and you will wish that you had a card, any card from her, or even one more conversation with her.
My advice to you is just to be yourself. Don't give your mom a hardtime, but when she's intolerant, tell her that she's being intolerant. That's how it is with my parents. I know they're religious and so I just don't bring it up. But when it does come up, then I'm just myself. We get along because we respect each other.
My mother in law is the same way. One day, I simply told her that when she gets to heaven, God will tell her, "Instead of converting 100 people, you pushed away 10 times that." She freaked out, and has not bugged me since.
Most of the religious nuts are people who have had severe turmoil in their lives, and have turned to the Lord; without that, they'd be a big quivering bag of Jello.
let me guess he tells you your going to hell forever ? i bet she uses lots of dogma . jesus said the path to heaven is within . tell her that so she knows that she should keep it to her self. the path is within you not others.
If your mom just has religion, then I can see how u would want nothing to do with it. Jesus spoke more against religion in the Bible then any other person. He called the pharisees "whitewashed tombs," because they looked good on the outside of their own righteousness but inside he knew that they were filled with dead man's bones (Matt.23:27) The Bible is about a RELATIONSHIP with God, not religion. Religion is boring, God is not boring whatsoever. Religion is legalism, where Jesus set men free.
And how exactly do you even know or Justify this? Jesus himself never wrote anything down as far as we know! For all we know the "supposed" qoutations made by Jesus himself in the bible are fabricated, misinterpreted, or even never written down in the first place! Not to mention there's only a select few documents even stating Jesus rose from the dead which for all we know were forged! If this is all the evidence you Christians have to go by to justify your faith then frankly I'm not impressed!
For someone who didn't want religion, he surely inspired much of the religious dogma crap that plagues our society today. Assuming that he's real, mind you. Of course, common sense will tell you otherwise.
If I were you, I would just tell her the truth. If she's going to think that you're going to hell, then there isn't much you can do about that. If she chooses to believe that, then that's how it is. I think you should let her know who her son really is, not the fake god-fearing son she maybe thinks she has. That's just my opinion though.
lol yeah, tshirts help too - I'd reccommend the Deicide 'Christ Disembowelled' tshirt, and maybe the Cradle of Filth 'Vestal Masturbation' top, which features a nun masturbating on the front, and has 'JESUS IS A CUNT' written on the back... actually no, bad idea. Just send her this video!
Your mother may be too set in her ways to talk in-depth about your beliefs, but I say except the religious cards and tell her thank you—when did we start picking our own birthday cards? My mother is also very religious and I'm hard-core atheist, and so we both think each others' beliefs about god are a sad view of the world. Don't let her tell you or think that you are going to hell. Encourage her to think differently about hell because mothers always come up with excuses for their children!
Just read her this Bible verse, and tell her to leave you alone.
For to this end we both labor and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Savior of all men, especially of those who believe. (1 Timothy 4:10 NKJV)
"i want funny birthday cards" your seriously going to say that, wow... your greedy and disrespectful... you dont care about anything she sends you unless its a funny birthday card......
If she isn't willing to accept you unconditionally for your beliefs, why should you accept hers? You are in control of your own life. Don't try to fake it, the truth is better. Communication is key.

Well you're a sad little man. You have to turn to Youtube to ask us what to do about your mother? Just kick your mother in the groin, bend her down and give her sex. The premaritalness of it all will make her realize that religion is wrong, and sex feels good.
Dude, not cool. You should always have respect and love for your parents. Unless they did something that is absolutely unforgivable. Like abandoning you or something.
I supose you could just tell her up front. Either way, if she is that deticated she is probably thinking Hell..hell..hell anyway.
just tell her that you don't understand faith and god's existence, for example; if god created man and has a plan for everyone, then humans are not accountable for their actions, god is as he is the planer. Then how do you explain murderers and rapists? you see, that sugests that god is not all good or all powerful, which doesn't fit the deffinition of god.
My tactic is to be up front about things. I don't like to corner them by asking all these lead up questions. Just say what you have to say, and then clear up the myths. Point out that you are still a good person that does good things, and that you don't praise Satan...you know the basics. Ask her for questions and answer her concerns. Help her realize that you being atheist really doesn't change much. You've been atheist and the world will survive, so it's going to continue to survive now.
better notto care whatshethinks itwontever make sense and itprobably has nothing todo with beliefs as much as it does with a desire to fit a certain image. its usually like that, some people think you need to pretend realhard and talk the sameway inorder to have a peaceful world; others try and help, some do both, me and maybe you think the former is a waste of time..?repect her disition yes, but fell free to tell her you disagree and you find it obnoxious to get religious parafinalia inthemail.
I had the same problem. My mom isn't OVERLY religious like that though. My dad is. He's Catholic. Catholics take religion WAY to seriously. It sucks telling your parents you don't believe what they do, but why should they expect you to? Thinking for ourselves is what helps us grow intellectually. She should be proud that you have set down your own path. Good luck, dude. :D
I'm on your side. Let her know that her faith relies on 'freewill' and that right now, you chose to study the path you want to take on your own. If it makes her feel good sending you religious cards, thank her then toss them aside. She her the respect which you wish to be shown. You want funny cards. get them yourself.
Its a very easy answewr. TELL HER ABOUT 1 SAM 15:3 IN THE BIBLE - WHERE GOD COMMANDS KING SAUL TO KILL BABIES OF ANOTHER TRIBE! You dont worship gods that are baby killers do you? :)
why don't you show her this video so she knows what you think, me and my parents are the same way they are hardcore catholic and i'm not even christian
Genesis 4:15 But the LORD said to him, "Not so, if anyone kills Cain, he will suffer vengeance seven times over." Then the LORD put a mark on Cain so that no one who found him would kill him. 16 So Cain went out from the LORD's presence and lived in the land of Nod, east of Eden.
Even God says there are other people out side of the garden Eden!
What if he is lying and he has the real one true God locked up in some closet in God villa and he really is an jealous, spiteful, illogical, irrational, egomaniac, megalomaniac, genocidal, dictator, "unlike" what the Bible says!
Tell her that there is God and you! That's it!
And you don't believe in all that religious tradition in-between!
my mom used to force me to go to church when i was little. i spent those sundays picking apart the bible, and finding verses that turned the bible on itself. it is very self contradicting. yeah she booted me out of her house a year later though =P
Been there... so I feel your pain. I've had the same problem with my parents. Even though I've told them numerous times that I don't hold to their beliefs they don't want to listen. Hang in there. I think Zombiebob444 has some good advice. Just remember to never give up your beliefs for someone else's. Good Luck!
I tried to tell my parents that I was an atheist as nice as possible and they threatened me with adoption so I try to stay away from them now. I wish they never thought of such an evil religion.
I'm going to assume you're over 18 years old and have moved out, yes? First, remove those religious items from your posession. It just exaserbates the problem. Then have a heart to heart talk with her. You have to look her in the face and speak clearly of your intentions.
"Mom, I'm sorry but I don't believe in X. I know you're passionate about it and I respect you, but I don't subscribe to these beliefs nor will I ever."
The rest is up to her. Honesty is better than living a lie.
You gotta be blunt... maybe smoke a blunt, then tell her that her Bible is nonsense and you are unconvinced. Then tell her there are better uses of our limited time on this earth than praying to a delusion. She can't change your beliefs, and don't try to change hers, just tell her to keep it to herself.
Just say ...Mom I love you, but you gotta back off. Ask ...Can you please send me a funny B day card? Maybe she feels like that is the only thing you guys have in common. Try to make you visits with her about other things besides religion. Try to come up with something to do together that doesn't involve Christ. An intrest or hobby where talking is limited. But make it enjoyable and fun
You better off just to keep bullshitting her. Ignorance is bliss. Trying to justify your non belief to her is like trying to kick water uphill it just does work. Infantile brainwashing is hard to break. Remember your mother was programmed as a child.
Why should he have to hide and be ashame of himself! That's unreasonable christians for you. I'm proud i'm athiest and will shout it out. Anytone who does not like it i tell them to fuck off.
Tell her you believe your relationship with god is a personal one and that no church or person can replace or come between that personal relationship. You dont like to talk about it.
The Easter Bunny is a mythological rabbit who brings eggs and candy to children on the Easter holiday. The Easter bunny possibly has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season.
Just sit her down and have a serious talk but make sure that you do not offend her religion. It is much better do have a peaceful conflict. Simply tell her that you are Atheist, you do need her to pray for you, but to care for you. I don't think its a big deal that she sends you Christian gift cards, it seems tolerable. You should tell her to be tolerant of your religion even if she thinks you are going to hell. But all in all, just sit her down and have a talk.
if she is paying your tuition so you can stay in college, don't tell her yet.I think hearing her religious talk, no matter how crazy it might be, is better than being in debt coming out of college.
and when she is there and starts talking all the religious bull, just ignore her and act uninterested.
and when u do tell her, tell her this, religion has caused more wars and bloodshed than anything else.tell her human race lived fine for centuries without religion.
If you are forced to go to church -- ask them for money and help and keep on asking them politely but continuiously. One way to get people to leave you alone is to keep asking for money. Sometimes you even get the money AND they leave you alone -- just keep reminding them about their "Christian Charity." No matter how nasty the church folks get - and they will - keep asking and asking and asking - but politely!
tell your mom Mom , can you just pray for me and let the Lord work out the details please please oh pretty please with sugar on it and feed her and cuddle her and tell her that you really love her from time to time and buy her her favorite foods and drinks all the time not just one time and forget it I mean treat her with royalty a little bit at a time and continue with it and maybe go to church with her from time to time as you see fit just to make her happy Make yourmom happy"just because"
My advice, if it's not too late is to humor her. Don't tell her. It won't hurt you to make lip-service to her beleifs. I know, I know it's not the honest thing to do...but it's a white lie..meant to not hurt anyone. And you're only lying about religion, not anything important. Good luck.

This kind of family drama is reason enough to hate religion.

I know how you feel...my whole family are religious wackos....since I don't go all batty like them, they barely speak to me even though I'm a good person. I'm telling them that I don't judge them for believing things I don't believe in, so I'd appreciate them giving me the same respect.

Man they don't even know their own history! So test your mom!... 1572 st. Bartholomew's Day massacre 10,000 Protestants killed throughout Europe by The Catholics, why? "My religion is better then yours!" French War Of Religion lasted 31 years, lots more died. I bet your priests don't teach your that. Everyone needs to know it.

CharlieBoston4 1 year ago
However, it may happen that your mom is adamant and believes the illogical fantasies even if shown that they're not true. She would refuse to use her brain and keep throwing religious dogma at you, and never listen to what you have to say. In that case, there's only one thing. Get straight to the point. Tell her you're an atheist, and she can't change that. Tell her if she doesn't want an atheist in the house, you'll move out. And really, just move out & find a place to live as a happy atheist.

Continue pretending to be a Christian who wants to get closer to God by studying the Bible. In turn, find the problems and errors in the Bible and question your mom about them. How can God do this? How can that be so? If your mom uses her brain, she will see the errors you find in the Bible and become an atheist herself. Two birds with one stone!
adtc 1 year ago
Oh god no, I've done the same thing. Only people who have always been uncertain are swayed by flaws in their bible. Man some christians I've met, scare the hell out of me. And they always have the stupidest word that can protect them from any argument. Faith. Pisses me off, it's their scapegoat. Rationality+Christians=?

It's been 3 years since this video. You haven't told your mom yet? I hope you did.
As an answer to the question, religious people are highly intolerant and will be so, no matter how grand a show of tolerance they put up. If your mom happens to be someone who uses her brain, you could first of all read up atheist books, and study Christianity with a critical mind. Share with her what you learn without appearing that you're atheist.

You are entitled to your own opinion, but I understand not wanting to offend your mother.
If you want to remain close to her, you should just lie about it for the rest of her life.
If you would rather be more independent, however, you should just be honest, and tell her that you feel oppressed by her ways of forcing ideas down your throat, and that you need to just be yourself.

After you tell her though, just try to not talk about religion as much as possible. After all, debating and intolerance over religion is what what ruins relationships between others.

My belief is that if you have chosen Christianity, at least admit it was a choice. Kind of like a lifestyle decision. Jesus did not make himself known to you.

You won't go to hell. A good, kind &loving person like you wil go to a place where there is goodness, kindness & love.
Hells are for people who do evils & their evil deeds in their lives create a hell for them.

If she points to something she believes to be proof, ask her if she really wants to believe in a religion that would condemn her son so capriciously and without any evidence to back the claim that it can

Show her the hundreds (thousands?) of horrendous offensive scriptures of her bible. Ask her what she thinks of 'cutting open pregnant woman' or 'bashing infants skull against the stones'. Ask her to be a roll model for you. Tell her to go stone to death a disbeliever or gay person (show her gods orders to do this). Tell her to show she is willing to obey, then you will consider it.

My mother in law is the same way. One day, I simply told her that when she gets to heaven, God will tell her, "Instead of converting 100 people, you pushed away 10 times that." She freaked out, and has not bugged me since.
Most of the religious nuts are people who have had severe turmoil in their lives, and have turned to the Lord; without that, they'd be a big quivering bag of Jello.

If your mom just has religion, then I can see how u would want nothing to do with it. Jesus spoke more against religion in the Bible then any other person. He called the pharisees "whitewashed tombs," because they looked good on the outside of their own righteousness but inside he knew that they were filled with dead man's bones (Matt.23:27) The Bible is about a RELATIONSHIP with God, not religion. Religion is boring, God is not boring whatsoever. Religion is legalism, where Jesus set men free.

And how exactly do you even know or Justify this? Jesus himself never wrote anything down as far as we know! For all we know the "supposed" qoutations made by Jesus himself in the bible are fabricated, misinterpreted, or even never written down in the first place! Not to mention there's only a select few documents even stating Jesus rose from the dead which for all we know were forged! If this is all the evidence you Christians have to go by to justify your faith then frankly I'm not impressed!

Your mother may be too set in her ways to talk in-depth about your beliefs, but I say except the religious cards and tell her thank you—when did we start picking our own birthday cards? My mother is also very religious and I'm hard-core atheist, and so we both think each others' beliefs about god are a sad view of the world. Don't let her tell you or think that you are going to hell. Encourage her to think differently about hell because mothers always come up with excuses for their children!

Then how do you explain murderers and rapists? you see, that sugests that god is not all good or all powerful, which doesn't fit the deffinition of god.

My tactic is to be up front about things. I don't like to corner them by asking all these lead up questions. Just say what you have to say, and then clear up the myths. Point out that you are still a good person that does good things, and that you don't praise Satan...you know the basics. Ask her for questions and answer her concerns. Help her realize that you being atheist really doesn't change much. You've been atheist and the world will survive, so it's going to continue to survive now.

Tell her you believe your relationship with god is a personal one and that no church or person can replace or come between that personal relationship. You dont like to talk about it.

Yes one with Easter Bunny.
The Easter Bunny is a mythological rabbit who brings eggs and candy to children on the Easter holiday. The Easter bunny possibly has its origin in pre-Christian fertility lore. The Hare and the Rabbit were the most fertile animals known and they served as symbols of the new life during the Spring season.

Just sit her down and have a serious talk but make sure that you do not offend her religion. It is much better do have a peaceful conflict. Simply tell her that you are Atheist, you do need her to pray for you, but to care for you. I don't think its a big deal that she sends you Christian gift cards, it seems tolerable. You should tell her to be tolerant of your religion even if she thinks you are going to hell. But all in all, just sit her down and have a talk.

Atheism is not a religion

if she is paying your tuition so you can stay in college, don't tell her yet.I think hearing her religious talk, no matter how crazy it might be, is better than being in debt coming out of college.
and when she is there and starts talking all the religious bull, just ignore her and act uninterested.
and when u do tell her, tell her this, religion has caused more wars and bloodshed than anything else.tell her human race lived fine for centuries without religion.

when? even in the intellectual elite, atheism was almost non-existant until the mid 19th century.

If you are forced to go to church -- ask them for money and help and keep on asking them politely but continuiously. One way to get people to leave you alone is to keep asking for money. Sometimes you even get the money AND they leave you alone -- just keep reminding them about their "Christian Charity." No matter how nasty the church folks get - and they will - keep asking and asking and asking - but politely!

My advice, if it's not too late is to humor her. Don't tell her. It won't hurt you to make lip-service to her beleifs. I know, I know it's not the honest thing to do...but it's a white lie..meant to not hurt anyone. And you're only lying about religion, not anything important. Good luck.
