"MY KIDS KNOWS DEEEEEEEEEEFERENT PEEEEPULLLLL!!!11!11!"

Chagen

My friend Micheal came over (the Exalted-loving Lolicon friend, that is) today. Anyway, we decided to pester my mom for some Pizza, she gave in and took us to Little Ceasar's.

Somehow, on the ride back, we went into theological debate. Well, not really, but the question of "Does God exist" came up.

Anyway, my mom was kinda over-reactionary during the whole thing. First of all, she started freaking out when Micheal said he loved the occult, and actually started chanting "please tell me you believe in God...." until Micheal clarified that he did.

Second, she started flipping out and hypervenilating when I (accidently) implied that I was an Atheist.

Third, when Micheal said he was getting into Tarot Card reading, my mom flipped out again. She also told me that if I ever got into Tarot, she'd kick my ass.

Fourth, she called Wicca satanism. Then again, it's the most retarded "religion" ever invented, so it's not like she really was doing it a disservice.

Ugh. why do so many parents in America only want their children to know other brainwashed christians?

Super christian values, and closed mindedness/inability to understand that other views/religions aren't wrong.

While I agree that your mother's response was probably not fair (I suppose I cannot really know given that I was not there), I think it is probably better to be extra cautious about getting into theological debates. From what I can tell, a lot of people really dislike discussing their own religious beliefs in such a way. I doubt all of the people who dislike those debates are necessarily intolerant.

Also, may I ask if you ate crazy bread at Little Caesar's? I think that stuff is pretty excellent.

I am slightly annoyed by the fact that Chagen's Lolicon friend has a slightly differently spelled version of my name.

Off-topic, I know.

This is why I don't want my kids to be in contact with Christians.

Yes, because all Christians are intolerant evangelicals.

I'm actually writing down all of Chagen's misadventures, which I will someday turn into an edgy sitcom.

Jesus Myrm I was just joking you have to take eveyrthign I say and attack me iwth it?

Nyarly

To be honest, I didn't think that you are joking either.

Holy crap this is an annoying thread title.

Next time, could we just skip the Day in My Life stuff and get directly to the main point?

Parents can be terrible control freaks. This only gets worse the smaller their worldview is, as anything outside this sphere automagically becomes a boogeyman threatening their little pristine glade. What will the neighbours, the pastor or god say, once they find my child deviates from the norms of the close-knit community?

Is this Micheal dude taking the occult seriously? Or is it just something cool like Dungeons and Dragons? I suppose if there isn't some cult mentality involved, he's fine doing whatever he wants, but it has the potential to raise a few eyebrows.

Chagen

He's in it because it looks interesting. He's not serious about it.

RocketDude

...That's stupid, and I say that as a non-religious person.

This was the same guy with the creepy-as-hell fantasies, right?
