Oh my non-god. I so feel for this young man! I wish we could have laws protecting a teen's right to choose what they believe. What's ironic for her is that she is absolutely assuring that he will remain an atheist. Rather than being so belligerent, why doesn't she just pray for him? I'm sure if asked she would say that prayer would change him.

Wow, that could have been a "discussion" with my Mom back when I was a teenager.

Thanks for posting this video. It just reminds me why I still don't bother to come out of the closet as an atheist to my family even in my late twenties.

The threat about the Christmas gifts was classic.

Mommy and daddy are mad.
I'm gettin' nothin' for x-mas,
'cause I ain't been nothin' but...
a person with thoughts of my own!

That's what you get for giving underwear as a gift to your son at x-mas!!

No one should be shocked by the video. This is a typical reaction in any home that has a vested interest in the status quo. Continuing the status quo has many valid reasons. Without belonging to a church one loses the sense of belonging, they may also be afraid of acknowledging their errors and fully realizing that there is no reward and they realize that acknowledging they are atheists puts then in the same category as the lowest of the low. It is true that ignorance can be truly bliss.

This reminds me of so many arguements I had with my Dad. Growing up Jahovas Witness everything was all uniform, straight and plain.

The things that religion tried to teach me were so rediculous. Their mannerisms were even that of a cult. My curiosity always bothered my Dad, and sometime later our conversations resulted in violence. I'm glad that whoever did this was brave enough to share it.

I thought the father is supposed to be the boss in a Christian family. Oh wait, they're Catholic; not Christian.

Reminds me of Dee Dee Warren.

I don't think he feels much of a sense of belonging to the Catholic church.

This looks fake, but I don't doubt there are some Christian parents who act this way. I especially liked the no christmas presents line.

However, as one who works with teens, I have seen atheist parents react the same way when their child wishes to choose christianity as a different worldview.

fake? Heck if it is fake, she deserves a bloody Oscar.

I remember shouting at my kids because they didn't want me to read their bible stories anymore.

OMNG!

I'm SICKENED by this!

I have 4 lovely beautiful non-believing children and I can't imagine treating them like that!

She is creating her own hell!

She will regret that tirade when her kids leave home and stay gone! She will be one of those lonely, grouchy, old bitches in the nursing home that nobody comes to visit!

I suppose this video is all staged and hyped. But if not, this kid is really going to be in BIG trouble when his Mom finds out that her tirade is on YouTube! What this kid needs is a few really good penetrating questions about the Biblical God to ask his Mom, although I’m not sure she is the “thoughtful” type.

NO TRUE CHRISTIANS!

There is no doubt in my mind that there is not one true Christian on the planet, and I can prove it. There are several signs of a true believer that are very plain in the Bible. Unlike many of the passages of the Bible, these particular verses are very plain and nearly impossible to misinterpret or take out of context. Let's consider these statements supposedly written by the Apostle John, otherwise known as the disciple whom Jesus loved, as he quoted his master and his God: 1) John 14:15 If ye love me, keep my commandments. 2) John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. 3) John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. This seems pretty plain to me. If you love the Lord, you keep his commandments. Simple! John the Apostle emph...

Logical Proof that God doesn't exist - Prayer

241 comments
By Sailorfraud The Bible says God is almighty who answers your prayers. So how do you know if God is real other than that faith crap? Try the power of prayer when an earthly situation occurs which is beyond your control and only an almighty God who created the universe and all life can control. Suppose you or a close family member has a terminal disease like cancer which cannot be medically cured? A certain time line is given, so like all hopeful human beings, you humbly and diligently pray to the almighty God who says in the Bible he answers prayers. Time and reality passes, the disease takes it's toll, and your prayers go unanswered. Maybe one in a million may be saved, but looking at a 99.9999% failure rate for prayer is evidence that God does not exist. Now, compare it to an atheist who suffers the same terminal disease and wishes for healing. The same 99.9999% failure rate occurs. Now compare it to a devout Muslim suffering the same terminal disease and prays to his/her ...

Dear Believer

by Dan Barker Dear Believer, — You asked me to consider Christianity as the answer for my life. I have done that. I consider it untrue, repugnant, and harmful. You expect me to believe Jesus was born of a virgin impregnated by a ghost? Do you believe all the crazy tales of ancient religions? Julius Caesar was reportedly born of a virgin; Roman historian Seutonius said Augustus bodily rose to heaven when he died; and Buddha was supposedly born speaking. You don’t believe all that, do you? Why do you expect me to swallow the fables of Christianity? I find it incredible that you ask me to believe that the earth was created in six literal days; women come from a man’s rib; a snake, a donkey, and a burning bush spoke human language; the entire world was flooded, covering the mountains to drown evil; all animal species, millions of them, rode on one boat; language variations stem from the tower of Babel; Moses had a magic wand; the Nile turned to blood; a stick turned into a snake; witches, ...

They Don’t SPEAK for ME!

by Bruce Gerencser of Restless Wanderings T hey all use the same Bible. They all believe the same Bible. They all worship the same God. They all believe the same about Jesus. They all believe the same about man’s need of redemption. They all believe in heaven and hell. Whether they call themselves Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant or Baptist they believe the same. Whether they are a part of a denomination or independent they believe the same. Whether they are liberal, charismatic, conservative, or fundamentalist they believe the same. Regardless of the name over the door every Christian Church essentially believe the same. The cardinal doctrines are settled. God is God. Jesus is Jesus.The Bible is truth.   Yes, they differ in matters of eschatology, worship styles, music. social rules, government and politics BUT these matters are peripheral to the central truth of the Christian Church, Jesus the Christ crucified and raised from the dead. Yet, a funny thing ha...
