Since I have admitted him the fact that I don't believe in anything, he has been behaving like an idiot. He thinks he knows everything. He believes I always mock Islam, even tough it is not true. His belief is always always always right and absolute truth. I can't even have a legitimate conversation with him. His arguments really suck. I am going to abroad to attend a university. This is my only way to get rid of this SOB.
Respect your father, he only loves you and wants the best for you in the only way he knows. John 3:16 King James Version (KJV) 16For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
This sounds like a standard father/teenage child relationship to me. I'm not convinced religion is a particularly special factor.
I've had it for years, and years. You have a problem until now? It's Jesus as a Jedi, fighting for justice. Didn't think you'd get it.
I get it......... Do the scriptures say Jesus Christ is a jedi from afictional movie called 'star wars'? Explain to me how that mockery of a picture glorifies the christ in the bible. This is not a game.
Well this has been the only sensible answer so far. Whenever i confront my parents about faith i too am atheist I often try to do it from a philosophical point asking questions about the ideas of the faith as-well as well as theorizing about the history. I treat faith as an interesting set of myths about right and wrong, death and life. You can always discuss any faith as that. Faith isn't the only part of your father's identity try to engage with him in activities you both enjoy. One of the worst and most selfish things you can do is make a loved one hate you, however don't live your life solely bound to him. It's important to find a balance between love and freedom unless that is impossible.
You can see from several of his Posts that he is no Christian . And you are right , his Avatar is sinful . The mark of a true Hypocrite . Something about --- not making idols, springs to mind .
Leave jedi alone, you perfidious Brit, Obiwan can very well take care of his own disciples. The ways of the force are many, your deceit will be exposed!
No that's not what I was getting at... Nobody gets through the father but through Christ. You do sound like a Muslim though.
Then, let me propose Saint Bernard of Clairvaux who wrote, "L'enfer est plein de bonnes volontés et désirs" (hell is full of good wishes and desires).
My republican mother kicked me out of her house on Christmas eve in a rain storm after I had hitch hiked a hundred miles to see her. But I don't hate her, I feel really sorry for her. Republicanism is an ugly disease.
Your issue with your father is not a religious problem. Your problem is that your father has decided to live through you, so now he is making sure that you have no thoughts other than his. If your university classes are at his expense then you don't escape that way. Your father will not stop until you lose your spirit and soul and become his shell. But the biggest loser will be the people that you would have had a relationship with in the future. I have been in your shoes a few years ago. Your only escape is to shut down all communication with him even in the face of constant physical abuse and starvation. You will never win though. I stood my ground but still I don't exist.
Hold your tongue and honor your Father's thoughts with your silence. You don't have to go ass to head with the hordes at mosque but hold your insolence well. You can always get him back by banging the hot Jewish girl two seats over.
I'm sure it was nothing her liberal son said though..... So, did the OWS people take you back in time for Santa?
So let me get this straight, some guy who decides to use the user name Allah claims to be an atheist with a Muslim father. Somethings smells.
My father was a drunk, a bad father and a cheater. Learn from your father's mistakes. You don't have to be like him or believe in his nonsense. Follow your own path. But be careful to still respect your fathers beliefs and try not to change him. Just tell him, "I am an adult, I've decided not to follow your religion".
