My mom and her religion...

So basically everytime my mom and I have a serious conversation she goes into this B.S. about how I need to find god cause I have a void in my life and I'm slipping away from god. Literally everything I say she dosn't even think twice about and just assumes im wrong, any advice totse?

Find God? lol

Look, it sucks, but while you live in her place, you're going to have to deal with it. You have free will, and thus have to believe nothing she tells you to...but while you choose to live with her, you are also choosing to live with HER.

pretend to have a life changing experiance like a dream about your future in hell or something and tell her you want to go back to living for god. i know your moms type and they eat that fear of eternal damnation crap right up.

then go to church with her, except for instead of listening to the sermon READ A BOOK!

This is probably the best idea, I was thinking the same thing. I mean I try to explain my beliefs, but she just keeps thinking im going deeper into a whole, its ridiculous..

Yeah...why mature as a person and learn to deal with situations beyond your control when you can just fake being a Christian?

better that than being disowned by parents.

Less hassel I geuss.



I would go with the calm stateing,and re-stateing,and restateing, of the reasons why you disagree with her/her beliefs/her forcing her beliefs on you.

It works with my mum with stuff anyway.

If you're still financially dependant on your mother, it might be a good idea to fake it. Religionists are very good at punishing their offspring for not following in their "spiritual footsteps." I have a friend who was literally stripped of her college fund for being agnostic, and it's pretty easy to find similar (and far worse) stories like that if you look around the internet.

Obviously not all religionists are like that, and I don't know enough about your mother to even guess if she is. All I'm saying is, weigh your options carefully before you decide how to proceed.
