"If you don't believe in god, what religion are you?" my dad asked me tonight.
"I don't have a religion, Dad..."
"Does that mean you're an atheist??"
Wanting to reply "Of course!", I responded "I'm agnostic".
"Do you want to end up burning for eternity?" He continued.
I came back with "How do you know the Bible is real and not the book of Mormon?"
He replied, "It says in the Bible--..."
(Aaaaaaarghhhhh!)

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I'm just surprised he subtly admitted atheists don't have a religion.

I know, right.
Do you think Atheist would yield a different daddy response?? Why the Moroni alleged angel blurb ?

I once spent about an hour explaining evolution to my mother. After patiently listening she responded "I'm not a monkey." I said "You are right you are an ape."

Primate....chimps gorillas bonobos all have roughly 98% identical DNA......mutations over a few million years separated all 4 of us primates and we have traced the RNA of a single mother 386 thousand years ago that defines all homosapiens sampled 2day.....bibles were only invented 700 years ago....ask mom to read her favorite cover to cover THEN SHE WILL be an Atheist like her son comparing real science to fiction
@Larry68Feminist Unfortinately she is 78 and has been indoctrinated as a small child as I was. She makes the same mistake that I did and most Christians do. That is reading into the Bible whaat is not there and glossing over the difficult passages with (God has not prepared me to understnd this yet but it is good and is in no way conflicting or evil),
There is much more attributed to the Bible than is actually in the Bible.
@DavidLaDeau 2nd Kings 8:12 rip open the bellies of pregnant women dash the little ones against the stones let not anyone live but keep the virgins for yourselves to rape......your alleged gawd geebush jeehobah ghostholes is not nice to order mass genocidal abortions upon Samarian women in fiction or fact.....fuck religion and bibles never stop reading it out loud until believers are shamed away like the KKK xians on xmas day out of their white hoods
You missed the trick of you asking him why he follows a god who would burn his daughter in hell

"If you don't believe in god, what religion are you?" Well, that's a first. Usually it's "If you don't believe in God, what DO you believe in?"
Did you think saying agnostic sounded better than atheist?
I would have said, "if I am an atheist I go to hell. But as an agnostic I'd get a suspended sentence and counselling."
But I'm a sarcastic bastard.

You need a middle man to see "god". Please make an appointment with the proper agency.
