Today, my mother refused to agree with any of my logic because it's "not in The Bible." She can't find any fault with it, just refuses to agree with it. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my mom and I got into a fight about a topic we agreed on. Seems like we're destined to never get along. FML
Today, my mom blew her top when I casually mentioned that it's pretty well known that the story of Jesus is a retelling of older Persian and Egyptian stories. She then went on to yell at me that I wasted my money on college and "book learning". FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom. Apparently, my seeking medicinal treatments for my cancer is blasphemous. According to her, I should just pray my cancer away. FML
Today, I got into a heated argument with my mom, because apparently I'm an idiot for not sharing her belief that chickens are mammals. She has a university degree in this stuff. FML
Today, my mother straight up admitted that she would murder me if God told her to. FML
Today, my mom bitched me out and threatened to send me to a Bible camp, after catching me admiring a photo of a bikini model, which is apparently "immoral behavior." This is the same woman who cheated on my dad twice, justifying it by claiming the Devil tempted her. FML
Today, my mom yelled at me for fighting with my younger brother. Not because she wanted us to stop, but because my brother couldn't find a good comeback to my argument. FML
Today, my mother refuses to acknowledge that I’m married because instead of a church, we got married outdoors in a lovely pagan ceremony (with a real marriage licence from the city council, obviously) and she keeps trying to introduce me to nice, single men from church. FML
Today, I kindly asked my irate mother to respect my boundaries and to find other outlets for her frustration. Instead of responding AT ALL to what I had asked, she yelled at me for an hour about a completely unrelated political documentary she'd seen on YouTube, and then didn't apologize for her outburst. Typical. FML
Today, my mother refused to talk to me because I wouldn't let her use my deodorant stick. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Religious nuts anger me. They make for the most frustrating conversation.

"Don't think" should be their new motto, imo. FYL

If we stuck to my libertarianistic "Do what you want to do, but don't harm the rights of other people and their property", then the world would be a better place.

I laugh at HIGHly religious folks.

Is the bible in the fiction or nonfiction part of the book store?

Not sure yet.

To get an idea of what your mom's (and many Christian's) hang-up is, read up a little about Christian Fundamentalism. The idea that there's a war between Science and Religion is relatively new and is pretty ironic, since much of the foundation of modern science was laid in the name of the Church and God. The Catholic Church has accepted most every scientific discovery, including Galileo's heliocentricity evidence and the theory of evolution.

Comments on any FML dealing with religion should be automatically disabled. I haven't seen one yet that hasn't devolved into petty "God is real" vs "god is stupid" squabbling. Believing is God is like owning a Snuggie. Some people are thrilled to have it, will use it as much as possible, and will tell everyone who will listen all about it. But the people who don't have one think that those who do are crazy.

Then, there's the REALLY messed up people like me. I have a Snuggie that I use & love, but I feel kind of stupid like I could've done the same thing with a regular blanket or robe.

Cars are not in the Bible, either, but I'll bet your mom rides around in one all day. ******* hypocrite. Never argue with fanatics, religious or otherwise.
