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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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, 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, 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, my dad sat me and my sister down and give us a "talk". More like an angry irrational rant. He forbade us from being gay, marrying a Muslim or a black person, demanded kids from both of us, and threatened to disown us if we didn't. Where's my free will? FML
Today, my crazily elitist parents were so desperate to get me to dump my fiancé that they threatened to divorce if I didn't. When I told them to go ahead, they bitched me out for being disrespectful. FML
Today, my parents have been slowly coming closer to figuring out that I'm an atheist. They've stated to me and my siblings since we were old enough to think independently that if any of us turned out to be atheists, they'd disown us. I'm not sure what to do here. FML
Today, I was informed by my parents that their relationship with God is more important than their relationship with me. FML
Today, my parents tried to stage an intervention for me. Drugs? No. Alcohol? Nope. Gambling? Nah ah. They wanted to intervene on behalf of my soul since I decided I no longer believe in their religion. I had to threaten to call the cops when the escalated to attempt a forced exorcism on me. FML
Today, my parents disowned me because I told them I don’t want kids. FML
Today, I mentioned to my parents that, considering the state of the world, the government needs to get its act together and ban guns, gas cars, meat, animal products, and plastic, among other things. They threatened to kick me out, saying I should "go live with the other dumbass hippies." FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

That's sad when a personal belief causes relatives to disown you. :(

It's amazing how people just blindly believe every stupid thing they hear without doing their own research. If I had a dollar for every negative thing I hear about Islam, I'd be richer than the Saudi royal family...

Oh lord. I don't know where you live, but over here it's waaaaay to late to be going into how I perceived the connotation of your post; I probably just misread it, though in the past I've also interpreted some of your posts in a less-than-positive-way... (Though I guess in this case I wasn't the only one? Not that really means anything in the grand scheme of things.) I don't know; I'm going to bed and going to try again in the morning.

@noor. as a nun isn't it kinda blasphemy to consort with Islamic people? (I'm not trying to be rude to Islamic people its a joke BTW)

You can. You can let people control you, there lost free will. Though, I'm not so sure that we have actual free will. But as we said let's skip the whole argument on this.

It seems like when parents want their kids to stand up for themselves, they really mean to stand up to anyone who isn't them. That's completely unfair; I'd be working on being able to move out the instant I could!

You are living in their house. You must worship their God. When you are in rome act like a roman.

This kind of thinking is why we don't like fundies in our government, really pisses me off when they think they should be the parent of everyone else.

You have following options: 1. Move out. 2. Pretend to convert to their religion. 3. Convert to their religion. 4. Reason with them and make them change their mind. #4 is the most difficult.

I have to say I feel for OP because I grew up in a church family with a deacon father and they get pissed off because when they insult other religions I start pointing out the flaws of theirs.
