Today, I went to Sunday school for the first time. The priest assured us we could ask him anything, so I did. When class ended the priest pulled me and my mom aside and asked her to stop bringing me to Sunday school until "she learns not to question the bible and accept what she is told". FML

Today, after church, my 5-year-old son asked me about God, so I answered his questions in full. We talked about God for over 2 hours. At the end of it all, he pondered for a moment, before saying to me, "That's the stupidest thing I ever heard. You're dumb." FML

Today, my mom sent me to a counselor she knew "through the church" so that I could get some stressors off my chest. Worst idea ever. This "counselor" invalidated everything I had to say and basically told me to pray the issues away, all while completely ignoring me. FML

Today, I told my mom I've been taking yoga lessons, and that it'd be cool if she took some with me. She immediately went on a rant, calling yoga "satanic" and accusing me of trying to get her into "devil worship". Well, that's the last time I try to patch our relationship up. FML

Today, I asked my teacher if he could tutor me for my upcoming exam. He said he'd look into it and let me know later. I later got called to the principal's office because my teacher claimed I'd propositioned him for sex. FML

Today, I finally mustered up the courage to tell my overly-religious parents that I'm an agnostic. They asked me why. As soon as I gave my reasons, my mom called me a "bigot" and hurled a bible at me, and it nailed me in the crotch. She then said, "That's what you get, non-believer." FML

Today, my grandmother convinced me to come to a church meeting with her. My grandmother then made funny faces at me while the pastor was speaking, causing me to laugh out loud. Everyone heard me, including the pastor. FML

Welcome to the basis of religion

The problem with religion in a nutshell. At least with science it's acknowledged that information could be proven wrong at a later date instead of saying "the is the answer for now and forever, and if you question it you are a bad person."

Tell the priest that a good theologian always asks questions. A theologian who does not wonder and study for answers is not a theologian at all!

You would be right to leave that community. If he actually believed what he was preaching, he would welcome the skeptic. Anyone truly founded in any belief, whether religious or not, will welcome the honest skeptic.

that is not a problem with Christianity. you can question the Pastor. Question the scripture choose to not believe them or not follow. no harm would come to you. The Qur'an is a different matter, especially when Islam is the national religion

That's not how religion is supposed to work. Sounds like a lazy priest.

Well played! Now you don't have to go back to Sunday School because you are not allowed. This way, you can have a free mind. If you really want to learn more about religion, start by reading books, lots of them. Then, seek out a church that cares about nurturing your soul's intellect.

"This is the problem with religion" no it's not. It's the problem with people who are taught incorrectly. I'm pretty sure this is going to get down voted, but it's the truth.

I think the real FML here is that you ever had to go to Sunday School at all.

I was raised catholic. After I graduated high school, I purchased a Bible and started reading it. I found some stuff out and went to the church and asked the Priest some questions about stuff I read that did not agree with what is being preached/taught. The Priest got very angry, got up, turned around and walked away never to be seen again. Good Luck.
