Just say straight out, "I am not a Chrisitan, and if I consider it, I'll do so in my own time. Please don't read the Bible while I am around, as I won't read Ktulu books when you are around."

Whats the correct spelling BTW, on "ride the lightning" it's spelt "Ktulu"

I am interested in joining a Q3 clan, very interested...I haven't played for a while, but thats b/c i can't find any other ppl interested! I play in a battlefield clan ATM, so i could play around the BF hours. BTW i am in australia, so i would also have to play in the right times also :?

you're still living at home? Bad news! I am at home, but i am a Christian and so are my parents so that is not so bad. Although they have called me the devil in the past due to different interpretations of the Bible...but thats a different story, lol!

One thing i always found is that is if you play along for a little bit, they can pretend everything is ok. My step sister used to smoke. They didn't talk about it and the parents were quite happy to pretend she didn't!

this is tween me and my sis

J: meg, would you kill a baby if god told you to?
m: what?
j: meg, would you kill a baby if god told you to?
m: if this asking if I think god would bring them back, or if I think god is a sadist again?
j: the second. if god showed up with crown of thorns, peiced hands, angels at his back, would you kill a baby is he told you to?
m: he wouldnt
j: jericho.
m: I wouldnt be fighting there.
j: assume you are able to.
m: Id have to think about it.
j: youd have to think about it?
m: j, its late, Im tired.
j: its 10pm, and you need to think about killing babies?
m: I dont know.
j: you dont know about killing babies?
~later~
j: you oppose abortion, right?
m: yep
j: why, when youd kill babies for god?
m: god is against abortion!
j: really? and he does it so much. .
m: that was striking them barren.
j: which shows hes a mysoginist. when does he do it to men?
m: he does it to men too.
j: where in the book does it say that?
m: I dont know, go away!

later, meg involves me with mom debate.

j: job 3:16
m: shows god is still sovriegn.
j: but he lets the devil do it!
m: free will.
j: ok. Im going to go across the street tonite. Im going to kill, rape, and eat whoever is there. you know Im going to do this. do you stop me?
m: you wouldnt do that.
j: assume I would.
m: yes, Id call the police.
j: god doesnt. isnt that odd?
m: yes, its odd.
me to megan: so, killing babies is ok?
mom: god never said kill babies
j: jericho
m: that was men women and children
j: I think children is enough to worry about!
m: but it wasnt like egypt - slaughter of innocents
j: so god slaughters the innocent?
m: they werent innocent - pharoh could have let them go
j: god hardened his heart!
m: he still had free will
j: god hardened his heart for his own glory!
m: no he didnt
j: look it up!
m: all sin and fall short of the glory of god
j: and deserve eternal fire?
m: yes
j: crime on earth is worth eternity in hell?
m: thats why we need christ
j: you know how many billions get hell then??
m: thats why we need to save them!
j: our penalties arent that harsh; 50 yrs for serial murders
m: we didnt create these people
j: so the creator can destroy?
m: yes
j: -gets kitchen knife, holds it to her handle first- ok. you created me, and Im arguing with you. thats a sin in judges. kill me.
m: I didnt create you. god did.

this is of course filled with misquotes, cuz its from memory. come to that, they didnt want this quoted, cuz its "like a tape recorder and not thot out." but you could a rough idea of the convos around here.

I'd just live with it, as not doing so would probably get you punished, and they would try harder to convert you. Of course, if I had family members like that, I probably wouldn't do anything out of respect, being the person that I am. If you insist, though, try getting into a good debate when they bring it up or something. And when they ask why you're doing it, say you're following the golden rule and "doing unto others as they have done unto you".

This does seem to disturb me, because by that token, fundie christians, a la "God Hates Fags" who would gladly kill a homosexual if they were allowed to would probably want to be killed if they themselves were homosexual, no?

gah.
That's just obnoxious. Simply put. Perhaps this might be a time to teach by using their same means. Go ahead and buy Wiccan spellbooks, or some other piece of 'heathen' literature, and put it by their pillows. I'm sure they'll like it just as much.

The real question is: "Will they actually see the message of it?"
