My parents abandoned me when I was young and my aunt took me in. She was a christian and she forced me and my cousins to go to church EVERY Sunday. Of course I hated this because I was a kid and kids never really grasp the concept of religion. Now I am grown and in the military, I try to visit her at least once a year but every time I do I end up regretting it.
I regret visiting her because she is getting out of hand, I think she has become a religious nut. These were her exact words " Glad to see you made it back safe, I hope you are going to church and not converting to those other devil religions, you have to know that all other religions are cults except Christianity". This was the first time that I realized that my aunt is somewhat crazy. On top of that she forces me to go to church TWICE a week while I am on vacation. I told her I took vacation so I can relax but she doesn't care, and she actually told me if I dont go to church then I cant stay in her house.
So my question to you religious people is What makes you all think like this? Like seriously, why is it so important for us to follow your religion or else we become your enemy? Its bad enough that we are brainwashed as kids but dont you all have respect for grown ups? Would you like it if someone forced you to go the mosque, church or temple?
Me and my aunt dont speak anymore because I decided to be an atheist and I told her that I am tired of her brainwashing and single minded thinking. I told her I wanted to find the religion thats right for me and she just doesn't accept that. The last thing she told me was "you are going straight to hell for worshiping false idols"
Just imagine that, religion actually made two family members become enemies. I just went home to visit and now I have lost a family member.....smh. Sometimes I wish religion never existed because it only causes conflicts!
BTW I know not all religious people are like this, this questions is focused towards the extremists who were brainwashed themselves and live in their own little crazy world.
