What...Anon: "…I'm causing her pain…"<br /><br />Whatever you do, don't ever, ever blame yourself for your sister's sadness! Her mistaken belief in the evil doctrine of hell is what's causing her pain. You should feel absolutely no guilt whatsoever for disbelieving!Secular Planethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14220454771007665488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26421185.post-23578116773294066472011-12-01T01:47:13.983-05:002011-12-01T01:47:13.983-05:00If anyone has any comments on how to deal with fam...If anyone has any comments on how to deal with family that truly believes you are going to hell, I'd love to hear it. I know my sister loves me very much and she's been very understanding when I told her that I'm an atheist. But a few days ago when we were having a discussion about it, she couldn't help herself and started crying because she's so scared that I'll go to hell. I got so sad when she started crying, because I'm causing her pain and I seem to not be able to help it! Advice anyone?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26421185.post-33658338982439860212011-07-25T04:05:19.071-04:002011-07-25T04:05:19.071-04:00I have the same situation with my mother - she thi...I have the same situation with my mother - she thinks because I don't believe in God that I am doomed. Last night I dreamt that SHE went to hell and was in a place with lots of fat people and drunks = the 2 things she HATES in this world and never stops going on about. Perhaps that is how it works - we end up in our own Hell?!setUponhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06742271375234248140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26421185.post-71104130181772116952008-12-18T13:30:00.000-05:002008-12-18T13:30:00.000-05:00Have you asked her directly whether she thinks tha...<I>Have you asked her directly whether she thinks that you are going to hell? From the post, it sounds like you might be inferring it. I wonder what she'd say if asked directly.</I><BR/><BR/>That's a good question. You're right that she didn't directly say that I'm going to hell; she just wouldn't say that I'm going to heaven. I'm not sure what other option exists in her personal theology. Maybe I should ask, but I'm not sure. I'll probably post her response if I ever do ask.David Mannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07300070039134344289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26421185.post-3263389072643646412008-12-18T08:47:00.000-05:002008-12-18T08:47:00.000-05:00Have you asked her directly whether she thinks tha...Have you asked her directly whether she thinks that you are going to hell?

Man, I pissed myself laughing at that guy, because the producers were not trying to mock christianity, it was just the icon/ emblem of this Jesus guy that could Kick Ass that fitted in with their script!Exzanianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15224569439945248911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26421185.post-85936213221135088662008-12-14T17:00:00.000-05:002008-12-14T17:00:00.000-05:00I have not been sure how to discuss these type of ...I have not been sure how to discuss these type of matters with my parents either.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
