I come visit my family for the first time in years. My father has been playing sermons on the tv the whole day. He discusses to me how he believes the earth is flat, they lied about the moon landing, and that the earth is experiencing an intense attack from demons……. I tell my father I do not believe in demons anymore, then the whole family looks at my crazy and tells me I haven’t lived long enough to experience the evil of this world.
The whole family then starts excusing my father’s ridiculous anti intellectual claims…… but then when I say I do not believe in God, they cannot fathom it. They say I’m just on a spiritual journey rn and that with age I will see.
Why am i seen as the dumb one for believing in the evidence of science and acknowledging the hard collective work that had to go into Artemis 2 mission??? I hate how religion has been ingrained so intensely into American culture that when you reject it, all of a sudden you reject morality….. I would be fine with my fathers beliefs in Christianity if he didn’t act as tho the devil has got me to follow his antics……I also despise my family kissing my fathers ass
I need to move communities.
