Today, I started my day off with a relaxing cup of coffee, the morning paper, and the sound of my mother informing me I will be going to hell for being not believing in God. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I was so hungover, I started yelling at inanimate objects. My mom walked in on me calling my cereal a "worthless piece of shit sent from the bowels of Hell." FML
Today, I went to make coffee, but having just woken up, I forgot the paper filter. You can guess what was in my coffee… FML
Today, as I was brushing my teeth, I heard my mum praying to God to help her "get rid of such a stupid child". I have no idea what I've done wrong, and she's refused to talk to me all day. FML
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, my mom started getting ready for the Rapture. FML
Today, I had to eat my breakfast in terrified silence, as my hungover mother staggered into the room, shouted at the kettle for not boiling fast enough, and after a few seconds, screamed that I'd sabotaged it. I'm now grounded for supposedly trying to fuck with her head. FML
Today, my parents punished me and made me wash my mouth out with soap for cursing. I'm almost 19. I said the word "Hell". FML
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
Today, I woke up early, went to the gym, then came home and showered. When I went into my room to change, my mom woke up and started pounding on my door, screaming about how lazy and useless I was for sleeping so late. When I tried to tell her otherwise, she grounded me for "talking back". FML
Today, I was informed by my parents that their relationship with God is more important than their relationship with me. FML

What I'm saying is that theres two types of Christians: the over religious type Christian that tries to force their views on everyone else, and the normal Christian who believes in God but doesn't shove their beliefs down everyone's throats.

You can't go somewhere that doesn't exist. And if you're atheist you should know that and you wouldn't be making it a big deal.

Even if OP believes that hell doesn't exist, I can imagine it's still horrible to hear that kind of thing from your own mother.

It's sort of funny that religious discussion on an fmylife comment thread is like 95% less stupid and vitriolic than anywhere else on the internet.

I don't believe in God, but you don't see me attacking people with my views. I just think you don't need religion to be a good person. I tend to avoid the over religious, or over anti-religious people as they don't know when enough is enough.

Fir the love of ..........never mind. I hate it when other people try to push their beliefs on others, especially when family does it. It is hard to tell your own mother to stop because most of the time it is coming from a place of love. Reality of it is that everyone has to find their own spiritual path, people need to figure out what is right for them. Just because your parents believe in God and have a set of beliefs it doesn't mean it is right for you. Even if you did you may not have the same approach to it as them. It is an idvidual thing, not a family thing.

Yes, because "you're going to be tormented eternally for being skeptical about something unproven" comes from love.

I think some religious parents have it in their heads that when they die they will go to heaven, and they want their children to be there with them. If their children don't follow the same path as them they think they won't be able to spend eternity with them. It is bullcrap of course but they think they are doing it out of love.
