Today, I was told by both my parents that I was going to hell and had a “terrorist mentality” because I said our archdiocese deserves to go bankrupt from all their abuse cases. FML

Autumn: Leaves and Laughter
When the leaves fall, the laughter rises. Discover autumn stories as crisp as dried leaves!
Today, my parents threatened to kick me out of the house if I didn't agree to convert to their new brand of Christianity. This is a day after they ranted at me about how I should speak my mind more and not let myself be controlled by other people. FML
Today, I found out that my parents think my boyfriend is the devil. FML
Today, my parents screamed at me for being diagnosed as depressed, because I’m not allowed to be depressed, because me being depressed makes them look like bad parents who couldn’t raise a happy, normal child, so I have to be happy or I’ll be punished. FML
Today, my parents disowned me because I told them I don’t want kids. FML
Today, my mom admitted to me that, when I was a baby, my grandmother kidnapped me and took me to the priest to perform an exorcism, because she swore I was the "spawn of Satan." FML
Today, I told my parents I no longer believe in the religion they strictly raised me under. They responded by kicking me out of the house. I'm broke, jobless, and the only person that will take me in is my psycho ex-girlfriend who never got over me. FML
Today, my parents told me they're getting a divorce because of all the strain caused by me nearly dying in an accident. FML
Today, I’m devastated that I had to completely sever all ties with my mother. She’s a hyper religious zealot who’s gone as far as to threaten to kidnap my children in order to get them baptized after I refused to raise them in her archaic, abusive, oppressive cult-like “church”. FML
Today, my shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML
Today, my parents tried to apologize for wrongly grounding me. I told them to go fuck themselves, so now I'm re-grounded. FML

Your parents sound like radical religious zealots. Best to keep your religious perspectives to yourself from them. Believe me, that's a war you don't want.

Basically I agree with you - There should be serious consequences for a church which does not protect vulnerable children... However, people of a “certain age” (parent and grandparent age) are not usually open to negative comments or doubts about their religious (or political) affiliation. That’s not saying that every older person swallows every lie told to them by traditional authorities - Just that if your parents haven’t figured this out for themselves then you’re not going to convince them. It’s usually easiest as a young adult to keep those thoughts and comments to yourself since you are not going to change their minds on this subject.

people in general dont like their beliefs criticized not just older people. case and point twitter, both conservatives and liberal have absolutely insufferable people among them. Its all ages and races, ignorance is universal

There already is a solution for that in that states anyways. Throw perpetrators and those that protect them in prison. if it were up to me, they wouldn't get special treatment either and would end up in general population so that justice can be served.

I could be wrong, but seeing as you are mature enough to research these topics yourself makes me think that you could be near legal age to live on your own. Best advice I could think of is find peer support groups to vent to, and keep your opinion to yourself regarding religion (with your parents) just to make it bearable untill you have total freedom.
