So I was talking to my dad the other day about random stuff and he blurts out to me that he knows what he wants for his birthday from me. So I listened and he wanted me to go with him to Oklahoma to be with his side of the family for Thanksgiving. I said that's fine and I'll go. Then today I walk talking to him again and he changed his mind. He told me that he instead wants me to go with him to some church he goes to. I rolled my eyes and asked him why. (I am an agnostic and he is a baptist) He told me that he would have to wait until later to tell me. We work together and he didn't have time to explain.

So my question is WTF? My dad is turning into a religious nutcase right before my eyes. I told him flat out, "I don't believe in all that stuff. So let me get this straight, you'd rather have me go to a church ceremony with random people I don't know dumping their beliefs onto me which I don't care about vs. me spending time with your family?" He said yup.


*sigh* Why oh why? For the record, I don't try and convince people of my beliefs. My beliefs are their own and I feel people can do whatever they choose.

if he really believes in it and has faith in it he probably just wants to share it with you or in his mind save you. it's cause he loves your fat ass.

edit: I just wanted to clear up the fact that I call everyone a fat ass. Also it made my post more manly.

He said yup.

You would be dumping beliefs on you?

You go, show up, listen a bit and leave...no one is pulling you aside.

It's cool though to be an agnostic or atheist today, esp if you wear cool clothes in black and stuff.

i'm so sorry.

Tell him youll go but you insist on bringing your boyfriend.

 

[Auggie]

If it's something that's that important to your dad, at least maybe go and see what it's about so you can understand him better...?

Careful, tubby, you'll give yourself a heart attack. I've never been so disgusted by a person in my life. Do they need a forklift to lift you to a sitting position? Probably broke 5-6 cranes now, haven't you?

See what church is about? I think you can guess without going:

1. Singing
2. Old dude reads some fairy tales out of a book
3. Kneeling and talking to yourself, asking to hit the lottery or to heal grandma
4. More singing
5. A basket passed around with someone watching who puts $$ in it
6. Singing

Some churches do not just let you be, and you're not just a quiet observer in your time there. The most traumatic experience of my life was being brought (not even to church, just a group) against my will. (PM me to talk about it if you want)

 

[Balr0g]

Why would he have to ask you to go to a thanksgiving dinner with family?

That would seem like something normal to me.

Any takers?

Sounds like you have a lot of respect for your dad since you've labeled him a "religious nutcase" based on the simple fact that he attends church.

Just from you post, it sounds like you're being too sensitive and reading too much into this. It's his birthday, that is what he wants; to spend time with YOU and share something he believes in.

Man up and go. A few hours at church isn't going to kill you or turn you into a "religious nutcase."

Maybe he's more concerned that all his dad seems to care about is bringing him to a church service that is meaningless to him instead of actually getting together in a place where they can both be comfortable and focus on paying attention to each other without such a high-pressure environment.
