Was it my fault?
The other day I was filling out an online scholarship form for college and there was an area that asked my religon. I dont believe in a god, and havent for some time, so i put down atheist. My mom walked in the room, saw it on the screen and freaked out.Dont get me wrong, my mom always taught me that you should accept everyone and at least try to understand their point of view. I also thought she knew I was atheist since I tend to say things that wouldnt support the Christian religon.
So, the first thing that my mom said to me went something like this "What your athiest now? Who do you think created the world? Who do you think created love?"
I was so shocked by her reaction that I said nothing, and I also thought that they were kind of rediculous questions (since Ive always been an evolution and Big Bang girl). Anyway, she went to the computer and started doing something. After a while she started crying, and I left the room, called my best friend and told her to come and get me.
I packed an overnight bag, and told my mom I was going to Laura's house. She came up to me and said "Im worried about you, and I still love you"
The next day when i came home, and she got home (2 hours later then usual) she asked for an apology for not telling her that I was an atheist.
This angered me quite a bit, because who was she to interrogate me about my beliefs like I had woken up that morning and said "oh, today is atheist day". I know I surprised her, but she always said that everyone should be accepted and understood, but not her own daughter?
Did I have a right to be upset that she questioned me and became angery? All feedback greatly appreciated

Do you attend church with your family? If so, your mom obviously thought you believed in religon and thus had no idea that you were an atheist. Makes sense if that's why she got upset.
About you getting angry at her for the interrogation is normal, don't most teenagers hate being asked questions by their parents! I know I did!

And the way she asked me was as if I had just said that killing people for sport is okay.

For some time after posting it appeared like the comment had never been posted at all.
Then again, her being religious might mean you have to make some things obvious.
there is a thing called agreeing to disagree, so sometimes things never get wrapped up neatly but that is ok.
My Brother is a dug adict, He's semi-fanatical, keeps switching to this or that bullshit religion. I say semi-fanatical because he's a much bigger siiner than I am, and I'm an Atheist. He's in jail now, actually. Robbed a Mac Donalds.
My brother and I are like Superman and Bizarro. I'm Superman.
