Joan of Arcadia Sucked.

If anyone I am friends with could switch bodies with me for a while they would get to experience to the fullest extent, the power of religion on the human psyche. The influence it has on people who have no desire to question what they were told to believe. The pressure a person feels when they can't express dissent. The pressure of 9 years

See, for me, it was easy: I got a weekend job. That way, my mom could no longer bitch about me missing church.

Well, she could bitch, but I always had "But I was at work!" to fall back on.

I feel your frustration..my father does the same exact thing. And to make it worse, he's a deacon. So conversations usually begin with absolutely nothing to do with religion, and somehow he manages to throw something in there about church and my soul. All I do nowadays is just point out how some of the most "saved" and sanctimonious people I know are also the most evil and hypocritical. You have to use evil...makes it more dramatic. That shuts him up for a few hours at least...
