How do I

[FlickerYourOwnIdentity]

Murder them in their sleep and dispose of the bodies mob boss style.

... That crossed the line.

Line? This is the internet. If there was a line it was killed off long ago.

Just make sure you bury the body vertically 7 feet under, cover it up just so you can see it, and put a dead dog overtop of it.  The police find the dog, mark the place, and never search there again :3

Anyway, I'm in a similar situation, and I've been dropping hints that I am indeed an atheist.  However it seems to elude them.  Be very blunt and tell them straightforward you are an atheist though.  If they start to throw out "Jesus Talk" or start yelling and screaming, just tell them the bible says to love people as you love yourself.  If they start to yell again, they ignored their own religion and call out the hypocrisy.  If you think your parents will react VERY BADLY, have a back-up plan where you could stay at a friends house.  Have a bag packed and ready to go.  The reason for this is so they have time to cool off and start to mull over the idea, but this is only if they react by starting screaming matches and continually start them up after the fact, or if they react in a hostile manner.   Otherwise they will think that you are thinking irrationally like a juvenile teenager.  They may not accept that you are an atheist and may not acknowledge the fact that you are one.  Give it time, and remind them every now and then, and maybe they'll get the message.

Yes I am using past experiences to tell you this in case anyone asks, "how do you know this works questions."

Just tell them? I mean what's the worst that could happen? Be dishoned because you have different ideas than them? The hardest part is mustering up the courage to straight up say it.

Well, if you want to know
"I can't believe you!  What happened?  Are you looking at porn? *checks browser history that's clean but don't believe it and take away my ipad and laptop* I bet it's those cards *takes away cards and generally make my life miserable until I "start seeing straight"*

I could totally see my parents doing those things, hence not straight up saying it.

So they take your stuff. After awhile they'll then ask "so what do you think now that we took your stuff?!" That's when you reinforce your stance on what you believe and try to open their eyes to "maybe it's not the games/cards/peers."

That would be in several months for that conversation to happen, and I like my stuff.  Plus they probably wouldn't give me my stuff back, even if they decided to believe me,

Stuff is temporary and can always be replaced.  If all they have taught you is that stuff is important and you must obey authority.....well be willing to risk something for once. Life is more important with experience and discovering the self, rather than stuff. The more you repress your inner desires, the more you end up being a tight wad about life; goals all becomes too late and opportunities become missed due to fear. Do not live in fear! Live in trust.

I believe that your parents will always love you and accept you for who you are ; unless their psychotic people. Don't be afraid to not be the same people as them


And as far as your stuff goes, the sooner you have your own independence and disposable income you can make all the frivolous purchases you want.

Didn't you just graduate? Just wait until you go to college and tell them.

[Apathy Reactor]

I would advise you to wait until you move out to tell them. Telling them while you live under their roof could easily be interpreted as an act of defiance or immature rebellion. Wait until you are on level ground with them.

Stuff isn't that important.  But I'd prefer to not have to spend several grand to get back into magic, and have to get a new comptroller for about $1100

They will love me, but it like having fun.  From previous experiences, such as not so clean browser history, life sucked butt for like a whole year, and 4ish years later, I'm still suffering consequences.  -_-

There's nothing worse than a religious parent delving into the darkness of your browser history and getting a lecture/any punishment for it.

[MuggyWuggy]

Lol you guys know nothing of worse

Care to share?

[MuggyWuggy]

Believe me there is much worse than a lecture from a parent.

Just watch your local news at night

[Spencer Addington]

I don't know muggy... Drive by shootings < uncomfortable lecture from you parents with them telling you that something that's completely natural is a sin and gods watching(perve).

[MuggyWuggy]

Having a gun pointed at your head, cocked & ready in real life is much more severe than a "what if" conversation on the Internet would allow it to be.

[MuggyWuggy]

There are people younger than you who had to kill their parents to live.

So please add reality to the bubble if you're going to say there is nothing worse than parents lecturing. That's some bullshit teenage Emo crap, grow some hair on your balls and deal with mom and dad disagreeing with you for a few months.

I hope you know I'm not at all serious. There are countless things worse than an uncomfortable conversation...

With the amount of ignorance on the Internet, you can never have doubt.
