Today, I decided to tell my mother what I thought about religion. I've been raised catholic. I told her I was converting to Wicca, to which she sort of nodded and walked away. I went into my room to study with my earbuds in, music loud. I walked out to see a cross nailed above my door. FML

Last call, bad decisions and 3 a.m. texts you'll regret until noon. Cheers.
Today, my mom is becoming a Wiccan, at least that’s the lie I told the neighbours when they demanded to know why my mom was smoking weed naked, waving charms around, and dancing amongst our trees. I actually have no idea what she was doing, and when she sobered up, she had no idea why she did it either. FML
Today, I finally mustered up the courage to tell my overly-religious parents that I'm an agnostic. They asked me why. As soon as I gave my reasons, my mom called me a "bigot" and hurled a bible at me, and it nailed me in the crotch. She then said, "That's what you get, non-believer." FML
Today, I told my mom I've been taking yoga lessons, and that it'd be cool if she took some with me. She immediately went on a rant, calling yoga "satanic" and accusing me of trying to get her into "devil worship". Well, that's the last time I try to patch our relationship up. FML
Today, while having dinner with my girlfriend's very religious parents, her mother called me a heathen and said she'd convert me one day. She wasn't kidding. FML
Today, I came out of the closet, after years of fear and shame, thanks to my mom making me to go to a church full of fundies my whole life. In the end, I was in tears. All I got was a frown and a "So? Want a medal or something?" FML
Today, my mother told me she wanted me to get an exorcism. Yes, she was serious. I'm Jewish. FML
Today, I finally decided to tell my parents I was a lesbian. They spent the next few hours reading me the bible. 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, I met my mother's deeply religious fiancé for the first time. His response upon seeing me was to look me square in the eye and say, "You'll need to take out that nose stud or I'm afraid you'll not be welcome in our home." FML
Today, I got a tattoo. My mom got upset and threw a bitch fit about how my body "is a temple and it belongs to God.” I told her, “My body, my choice.” She responded with, “Oh really? Well, my house, my choice who lives here. Pack your shit and get the fuck out.” I’m currently in my car with nowhere to go. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

#14: I judge all religion as bad for society, but there are some that are worse than others. #11: Google's your friend, but it's one of the Pagan religions, based around peace with nature and all living things. Its beliefs including never harming any living being except for food or self defense and the "Rule of Three" which states that if you hurt someone, you'll get hurt back three times as bad (and likewise, if you do good, good will come to you three times as strong). As far as religions go, it's probably one of the best out there.

I would have taken the same cross, and nailed it on her door, upside down.

Wicca and paganism have been around longer than catholocism, so reading comments like "Wicca only exists because of angsty teenagers" makes me lol.

Turn the cross upside down and watch her flip.

Legit religion is a bit of an oxymoron. Let alone applying it to a religion that believes they have magical powers. Wicca has not been around longer than Christianity (not that it would give it any credibility if it had), but was invented in the 1950's for angsty teenagers. Does anyone know a wiccan who isn't an angsty teenager?

I would have to say that not only is your mother disrespectful of your beliefs, but she is a bitch. If she can't respect your beliefs, then you have no reason to respect hers. Take the cross down, and when you move out, don't speak to her. Also for everyone saying that Wicca is just for angsty teenagers, get some respect because you are acting like condescending fools. Just because she chose paganism over the other religions doesn't make her more "Wrong".

Don't condemn religion, condemn the people everyone going on about how religion is stupid and which reliigions specifically have never even read the holy books. You judge a religion by a book a lot of "religious" people don't even follow the books like how they should be followed

You are a mental-case, and so is your mother. I am an atheist, but you are just retarded. Please don't cast a spell on me now!

Wicca is even more retarted than any other faith. It isn't even a faith, it's a harry potter rip off. YDI
