Especially if you're doing them at the same time, LOL.

Now that sounds... uh, yeah, I don't wanna get in trouble either lol

I just find the ideea of going to confession and getting communion disrespectful to the religion. I hold religion in contempt at the moment, but even I wouldn't go that far. It would be as bad as pretending to be a Muslim in order to get into Mecca.

I get it, but would you rather disrespect and hurt your parents or disrespect a religion in a harmless way? No one is even going to know, no one will loose anything. It's not the best of situation but between the two of them, it's by far the less offensive.

Also, communion here means sipping wine from a spoon (that everybody uses BTW, which can't possibly be sanitary, one of the reasons why I don't wanna do it), and eating a little bot of bread.

Look, there's no such a thing as not sanitary when your dealing with alcohool. Everyone drinks together, it's just how it works.

And you get actual bread? Shit, your church is way more fun.

Sorry, I mixed them up. Plan F is faking my own murder, while Plan E is faking my own kidnapping. There is no Plan G (yet).

Maybe you could start, I mean, uh, fake, a church fire.

@Farmageddon:

You lucky bastard you guys actually get the wine? Here the priest is the only one to ever get the wine, it always made me mad lol

Yes, over here it's wine for all! It's actually the only alcohol I ever tried, with the exception of beer once. I actually like it, though I've never had any wine outside of communion.

Just say you wronged your parents and neighbors, used Gods name in vain and wanted your brother's woman. Also you did a sheep. She was cute. What difference does it make whether you tell him the truth or not?

The problem is that I just find it very disrespectful to mock them so much. Plus, If I'd say I did a sheep, he'd probably tell my mom something (not what I said in confession, but that I've gone down a very wrong path, and that I need serious help, which will freak my mom out > Out of the frying pan, into the fire).

I guess that makes sense, though I would have to make sure my parents never found out about it.

That's good to know.

Yes, though a big disadvantage is that religious services are longer and more boring, plus there are no chiars you can sit on, so you have to stand the whole time.

Maybe you could, uh, "fake", a church fire.

That's illegal. I'll put it up as Plan H (don't have a Plan G yet). Speaking of Church fires, I knew a girl who "accidentally" set a priest's beard on fire when she was getting communion (you have to hold a candle in your hand when you do that). They banned her from the church, LOL.

Just say this to them

"Hell is not a place you go, if you not a christian

it's the failure of your lifes greatest ambition

It's a bad decision to blindly follow any religion"

then you follow up "Before i decide what religion i am, i must do extensive research" then in about 6 months, tell them you dont believe in any religion.

Won't the bolded part offend or upset them? As for the final paragraph, what's the point of it. Wouldn't it just be easier to just tell them I've come to the conclusion that all religions are false?

Meh, they put you in this situation. I'm not telling to mock them, just say what they want to hear and be done with it. You'll have to compromise in some way, this non-objective moral bias against doing something that won't even generate the church any problem or pain seems to be the easier way out.

And hey, what's the problem with sheeps? What do you think Adam did before Eve? Porcupines? Lions? Bears? Dolphins?

Either tell them or suck it up and go. It isn't that hard >__> 



Sig thanks to Saber! :D

They probably won't find retrospectivly that you were an atheist. They may think your faith was dwidling or something, but if you tell them you only really stopped believing at some point it should be okay if you don't screw it up.

Hardcore, uh. And is there dancing?

Bah, you and your laws.

Heh, speaking of those candles, on my first communion mine was lit with a lighter instead of the other candle we were supposed to use. Priest didn't approve.

I will take it into account.

And LOL @ the sheep thing. I always thought he just did no. 2.

Haha, no.

WOW, so conservative of him to do that. Good thing he didn't make you get a new one.
