"Fight the man!" ...Well, sort of.

I've decided that the religious oppression has got to stop. I'm sick and tired of this "going to church every Sunday" crap, and I'm sick and tired of my mother running my life

It's not going to work.
She's going to react and get pissy at you, because you're displaying aggression. So she has to get defensive.
I'd recommend sitting her down and having a chat.
She will still get defensive, but she won't feel like a whole bunch of people are attacking her.

I really am afraid I have to agree with the above. We all want to give you our support, because, well... it's aggravating, limits the time you have for seeing your friends--which she then complains about, and it has been going on forever. We'd all like to see this have a happy ending though... which isn't extrememly likely the way you're heading.

*hugs*

Best of luck, lovey.

I dunno--I think the best thing to bring up with your mom at this point is that if she does indeed want you to build a genuine faith in Jesus, forcing you to go to this place isn't going to help--if I've got this right, from listening to all those crazy "evangies" out there (most especially the early morning bullhorn-variety "evangies"), faith is an internal process

I will have to agree...showing her something like this can not end well. I really want to see you again. You've been sticking it out this long. Go to school somewhere great...like Hendrix. :-D
