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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
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 came out to my therapist as gay. Claiming that my parents "can't be that homophobic", my therapist outed me to them. They kicked me out of the house. FML
Today, my sister came out as lesbian and my parents kicked her out of the house. I was also kicked out for supporting her. 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, my tiny apartment flooded. My family lives out of state and the few friends I have all gave me B.S. excuses for why I can't stay over for a few nights. I'm so broke this month that I'll probably have to hit up my psycho ex. FML
Today, my parents disowned me because I threw out my wife and son after I found out that the kid wasn't mine. According to them, I'm a "heartless asshole." FML
Today, I was kicked out of my aunt's house for being 15 minutes late for her to pick me up. She told me she doesn't want me to come home and left me in a panicked mess. My sister and brother are on her side and refuse to talk to me. I'm now couch surfing. FML
Today, I decided it was a good day to get my first tattoo since turning 18. Today, my parents decided it was a good day to make me homeless, because they are religious nutjobs that still live in the 19th century. Oh, and they’re no longer paying for my tuition. FML
Today, I went to my parents' house after escaping my abusive relationship. My mom scoffed and said, “This is what happens when you move out, barely graduated high school, with a bum.” When I told her I was 3 months pregnant, she said, “And a child out of wedlock? You’re a lost case!” and slammed the door in my face. FML
Today, my mother kicked me out of the house because her new boyfriend needs my room. Evidently he also needs my credit card, passport, and wallet too, because she kept all three, while tossing everything else out on the lawn. FML

I'm all for standing up for one's beliefs, but if you knew your parents were that strict on their own, you should have at least waited until you were financially stable to say anything.

My sister and her husband kicked their son out of the house because he doesn't believe in their religion any more. I took him in for a while until they patched things up. It's sad that people will choose religion over love of family. This is one reason I can't stand religion, it's too divisive. People should have the freedom to believe whatever they want.

I'm Christian, and I plan to raise my kids that way. But if they decide to believe something else, I won't stop them or kick them out. That's just wrong. Hopefully, I'll even be encouraging for them to keep an open mind.

YDI, It's almost expected by a parent that their child have almost identical beliefs as them. If you knew they were strict on it then you should've known something like this would happen. Don't stand up for your beliefs unless you are ready for the consequences. You've lived several years with them and this religion I am sure you can fake it more.

Lemme guess, Christians? It's sad how many people claim to be Christians and raise they're children strictly but when the children do something the parents don't like it's all punishment and pain and it should be strong discipline, but without violence.

Glad you stood up or yourself! Your parents are just upset because they know you're smarter than them for not believing in their fairy tales :3

I think it is wrong to judge someone simply because they do not practice your religion.
