Almost everyone has heard of Myspace. well I posted a survey of questions that my friends have past around and One of the questions had to do with religion... I know that religion always leads to a debate but I answered it honestly just like the rest of my friends did but my sister read it and posted this comment.
Hey There Chickie, I decided to look at your bulletins today, I don't usually like them because they are to off beat sometimes, but I read them anyway. I read your aaa to zzz and under the "G" I saw that you put that you are ATHEIST. and then you apologized? Which doesn't make any since. If you really don't believe in god and you are truly an atheist, you might want to spell it correctly! And one who disbelieves or denies the existence of god doesn't baptize there child in catholic church. And doesnt apologize for what they dont believe in. Also remember that blessings come from god. I don't know if Evan has had influence on you. But if you are atheist you might want to explore it a little bit more. I pray everyday for you and Mia and so does Mom. That god keeps blessing you and keeps you and Mia safe, happy, and healthly. I think he is doing a great Job! Your loving sister. Linda.
PS. If I sound a little bit harsh its because im a little bit angry and I will soon get over it with GOD'S help. I love you no matter what, so remember that!! God bless you Angie.

I'm insulted that she would insult my intelligence and state that my husband has anything to do with making my choices. I have told her to respect my choices and to no judge me because lets be honest she is far from perfect even if she goes to church... What would you do or say ?

As far as baptizing my daughter I was thinking that it would be a great spiritual thing for our family and my daughter. And it opens the doors for my daughter to choose to believe in god and make her own choices I would never take that away from my daughter it took years for me to realize I didn't believe but at least I did my homework first

Unless you want an all out family war, I'd just blow it off, and side step -any- talk of religion within the family. She can continue to pray for you...that's her choice. It's yours to beleive how you want to, or not....the US is still a freedom of religion country....
I'm pagan. My family is Baptist. My husband is United Methodist. My kids were baptized in his family church, we were married in my dad's family church. It doesn't change the fact I am pagan, and I beleive how I feel.
But, I don't go starting, or participating in discussions or argeuments about religion within my family. That leads to WW3.
And there's enough issues in my family as it is :)
Good luck :)

This will always be a topic that causes bad responses. The best thing that I think that you can do is to explain to her that while you do some of the traditions of the church you chose to believe what you wish. Tell her that you would appriciate it if she does not try to force her beliefs on you and you will not ever try to force yours on her. Tell her that you know that she believes and that she prays for you and if the day comes that you begin to believe then she will be the first to call her and apologize. But until then allow you to have the freewill that she believes god affords us all to believe in what you chose. That is the only thing that I can tell you.
If I can add something though... While having questions about God is normal I would recommend you atleast have an open mind about his existence. I am not saying that you have to believe because that is your choice but allow yourself the oportunity to have an informed decision based on your beliefs and no one else. I myself went through a period that I didnt know if he existed but I allowed myself to think that there may be a god and then he revealed himself to me. So as a piece of advice and I will not preach just allow yourself to have an open mind about it. Good luck.

Well, I agree with the baptism thing... if you are an Atheist, why bother?
As to the rest, she is allowed an opinion just as you are allowed yours. Just because you are family doesn't mean you have to agree on everything or anything!
As to the religion issue, that my dear is completely up to you. Believe or not believe; it is really not your sister's business.

tell her that you dont need her prayers, that you choose to believe in whatever you want to believe in.
