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

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
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
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

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 parents laughed and said it was just a phase. Now, seven years later, I get lots of dirty looks and rumors circulating at family reunions that I'm a devil-worshiper. My grandmother also cut me out of her will. Ah, well.

I'm 100% Athiest. Never have, never will believe in any religion.

There is no such thing as being agnostic. By saying you don't know, that means you are an atheist. Good luck.

that seems a bit harsh but you don't bite the hand that feeds you. you don't have to believe what they do but you should respect it, they are your parents and since you're jobless I assume you have been living off them.

From the information in the FML, it sounds like the only beliefs being disrespected were OP's. They probably didn't go to their parents and say "I don't believe in your religion 'cause it's stupid, and you shouldn't believe it either."

Spoken like a true POS "christian", 18. You and your ilk are the reason religion should be banned as the indoctrinated insanity it is.

Well spoken, Pendatik. Some people replace religious fanaticism with agnostic fanaticism. It ends up being no better.

Bingo Pedantik. Once the shouting starts, there's very little difference between a fundamentalist Christian and a fundamentalist Atheist.

sweet so does that mean u want us to throw out the 10 commandments 2? which many of out modern laws are based on. Would to terribly mind it if I stole all ur stuff and killed you?
CodingSquirrel 3
It doesn't take a bearded deity in the sky to come up with those laws. Just about every society and religion has agreed that it's wrong to kill, steal, etc. A lot of hatred and war has come out of religion as well. Unlike many religions would have you believe, without it we would not simply lose our 'moral fiber' and become uncivilized apes. In fact, throughout history it has actually worked to stifle human progression.

Hah! I totally moderated the last 3 FMLs.... Not important, but it made me smile. [= Yes, dear, FYL. The x is more of an FYL than anything else. Your other problems can go away. Ever seen Fatal Attraction? [x

hey thats not cool guys! /:<
RedPillSucks 33
I suspect they're usually on the receiving end.
sourgirl101 29
It is sad. IMO many join the priesthood because they are fighting their personal demons and are not interested in getting married anyways. But there are some that truely want to serve their God.

Although my comment was intended as a cheap shot, what Pedantik says is right. I'm personally not religious, but I generally respect those that are. I feel that religions in general though are often let down by the actions of the people that claim to represent them. In the specific case of the Catholic church sex scandals, the hypocrisy of the situation coupled with the wilful and reckless covering up of monstrous crimes means that what I said pales into insignificance. I'll gladly retract what I said and apologize, the moment it isn't actually true.
RedPillSucks 33
Does this still qualify as a scandal if its been going on, ..., oh ,..., FOREVER? Lets not pick on the Catholics either. Every major religion has had this (and other) problems. It's only scandalous when the media gets hold of it. Right now the media is looking at Catholics, but Protestants (all you non-catholic christian cults) shouldn't be pointing fingers either.
Zebidee 9
No, you're right, it's not really earth-shattering news, but with the Pope's visit to the UK this past week, it's been dragged up a lot recently. I completely agree that this problem and many others aren't limited to the Catholic church, but as this particular example related specifically to them, it seemed like the most logical one to refer to.

The OP told them because he didn't expect his PARENTS to throw him out of the house based on what he believed in.
