Atheist parents!

My mother was (and still is) an extremely zealous, almost fanatical Christian. She makes LSword look almost sane by comparison. She refuses to believe in evolution, not becuase she doesn't think there is enough evidence or anything like that but soley because she believes that the Bible should be taken literally, all of it, every last bit. For the record we're in the U.K, a land where everyone knows that evolution is a fact, or at least they should know since we don't have all that creationism crap.

When I was younger she would take me and my brother to her meeting hall every sunday where we spent 6 hours being told that the Bible was literally true and that you should never, ever question it.

Luckily both me and my brother have stong anti-authoritarian tendencies, as well as the capacity for critical and logical thinking. While both me and my brother are athiets, my mother has decided to start indoctrinating my youngest brother by telling him things like evolution is false and that catholics and homosexuals are evil. Naturally I've started showing him things like Randi and Dawkins on the sly.

When I have kids the plan is to never bring up religion until they do, which they probably will after their first R.E lesson. I'll tell them my position and why I chose that position while stressing that I could be wrong and instead of blindly following me they should think for themselves. That or I'll teach them that I am god and should be served at all times no matter how insane my commandments are.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
