Do you think this was wrong?

Question

Last Sunday my sister was curious to find out what church was like and so she woke up early sunday morning and i heard commotion from the room next to mine (we're both 19 and live on our own but we cant afford our own apartments) and i woke up and told her where the f#ck do you think your going are you forgetting that we're atheist and she was like what i'm just curious to see how it is and then i told her get back here and she tells me no and goes into the kitchen and starts to make coffee as if shes going to church and i follow her into the kitchen and shut off the coffee machine and i tell her Stacy get back in that room your not going anywhere and i went and stood in front of the door so she couldnt get out and then she tells me why are you so controlling and i tell her i just want the best for you christianity is all lies we both know theres no god so get back in that room or i will destroy you. Do you think thats wrong i just want the best for Stacy and she just doesnt appreciate

Answer 1

Sounds Personal..Family matters.

Answer 2

Yes, it was wrong. I am an athiest, and I find that there is nothing wrong with observing and studying different religions. Even if "christianity is all lies" it generally promotes peace and love like most religions, and learning about it isn't a bad thing. Saying "I will destroy you" is definitely wrong. Going to church won't make her automatically Christian. Religion should be a personal choice.

Answer 3

Have you always felt this way about God, that he doesn't exist? Or you once did believe that God exist up until you saw the hypocrisy of religious leaders. If this was the case, no one can blame you for being protective of your sister.

Well, not all religions are hypocrites. If your sister is curioused, let her be. You know what, why don't you go with her and be curious yourself? There is one true religion out there.

I know it's not my business, but you were too harsh on your sister.

Answer 4

You were way out of bounds, and in fact could be prosecuted for false imprisonment, a felony. She is of age, and is entirely competent to decide whether or not she wishes to go to church. I consider church a waste of time myself, but I have no right to make that decision on behalf of anyone else.

Answer 5

Doesn't that behavior run in exact opposition to Atheistic ideals? Isn't the whole point of atheism freedom to choose one's beliefs? How could you violate the only principle that athiests consider sacred?
Worse, your persecution of her attempt will only harden her resolve to see what it was that YOU are so afraid of.

It's likely that you just created a Christian. Congratulations.

Answer 6

ha. I get your point about atheists forcing their beliefs on believers because they feel it's in their best interest is right...

well well. Your analogy is off,
because we don't physically force ANYTHING. We merely point out reason, logic, and scientific FACT based on evidence (the smart atheists do anyway).
have a good day.

Answer 7

Well, she is 19, and unless she's your ward it is wrong. If you're really worried about her just go with her. If you are really against it the more you make a big deal about it the more she's probably going to be attracted to it.

Answer 8

GO GO GO! forcing may not be the best way but intentions r good

haha, that would've been funny to watch and post on youtube.

Answer 9

Sounds like your being a controling male Christian who tell their women to be silent, are your sure your an athiest??? Why don't you try to play nicely with your sister and try to act like christians claim to act and let her make uo her own mind and stop acting like the christians you hate.

Answer 10

I don't know where you get off trying to force atheism on anybody. It makes you no different from theists who do that. Atheism is about freedom to come to your own conclusions, leave her alone.
