Avoiding my relatives

2019-08-22 at 5:22 PM UTCThey're coming to do an expo for their charity tomorrow and want to take me out to eat, but I'm really uncomfortable with that because my uncle seems to straight up not like me and makes jabs at me, and also because they are ridiculously Christian and have a preacher son & son in law and they ask me questions like "How is your walk with the Lord?"
I'm not Christian anymore so it makes me very uncomfortable because I either have to lie or come across as extremely apathetic about it, and they have coffee with my dad everyday who is heavily involved in the church as well, and I don't want them to know that I'm not all about that Jesus like them so I'm gonna say that I'm working during the day and have commitments at night. -

The old 'cliche'...be yourself, if they don't like you as you, they are not very Christian and you are obligated to continually remind them they are not being very Christian whenever your Uncle takes a jab at you.
Fuck em and take the free food...as me old mum used to say. -
2019-08-22 at 6:03 PM UTCMy family is also Christian, I grew up in the church and believed in God most of my life but whenever they started talking about Jesus I would get quiet
Protestant Christianity is weird they are JESUS FREAKS obsessed with Jesus Jesus give your life to Jesus pray to Jesus study Jesus Jesus is all!! JESUS!!!.
When I went to a Catholic service for the first time it was like a cult. Everyone was clapping their hands to a hymn and they were all was spinning and moving in sequence. -
2019-08-22 at 6:13 PM UTCCatholic is the weirdest, they have the most traditions and rituals that are straight up avant garde, and for some reason they worship first and foremost a chick that is BARELY EVEN MENTIONED in the scripture instead of the guy that is commanded to be your one and only saviour.
Thr hardest part is that you're supposed to utterly love this guy that doesn't talk to you and is kind of an angry ruthless dickhead. -
2019-08-22 at 6:18 PM UTCThat's why I never jived with Judeo-Christian religions. They are obsessed with humans and books written by humans claimed to be works of God.
God is real and prophets are important for helping people realize and understanding the existence of a creator but it seems to me like churches are more about culture and traditions instead of worship of a creator.
Like I passed by one of those ethnic European church's with a fancy St. Dude stained Glass window and it looked like some cult shit.
Saints are a cool concept though -

No one actually likes Jesus or God. They are dickheads.
Go into any Catholic church with shrines and candles set up, the candles are lit in front of Mary and the Saints.
Nobody even bothers asking the pair of turbo jedis, God and Jesus, for anything, it just isn't worth it. -
2019-08-22 at 8:23 PM UTCGod is just like a boomber dad...stupid pointless and demanding rules.
"it's my way or the highway...to hell" -
2019-08-22 at 8:23 PM UTCWho cares about any of those people though God is GOD he created everything and people seem to forget this and get distracted by this kind of bullshit.

Some people really have the attitute "forgetta aboutit, life issa pizza pie" but yeah I'll be honest I've tried to avoid my parents like the plague and I kind of feel bad for it (my lil brother does the same thing), a couple months ago they hit me up when I was trying to quit drinking, just called me out of the blue like "hey we're in austin for a funeral want to hang out?" (they live 8 hours away) and I was like "I'm kinda busy doing stuff, you should of called me yesterday to let me know you were coming into town."
I think they just wanted to catch me how I live lol
but since I've quit drinking I've been trying to talk to my dad more. Yesterday was my lil bromos bday and I even told my dad to tell him happy b day (we both live here in austin but dont talk to each other)
