The panel on Monday's edition of Special Report on Fox News had a rare moment of unanimity in the wake of President Donald Trump's response to the killing of film director Rob Reiner and his wife.
So this is why I heard Mom saying it was sad. She hasn’t seen his movies, but knows he’s super liberal and actually gave me whatever you call the vocal version of “side eye” and said “he actually came out as an atheist” as if I thought that was something rare or bad or unbelievable.
She somehow still has no idea about me tho, because I will dodge that conversation forever unless I have to directly and specifically address it.

It makes me wonder how many MAGA drones are spitting on his life and legacy while also having core memories of movies like Princess Bride as formative, key pieces of entertainment in their lives.
I’m sorry you have to live like that. Living under religious oppression, regardless of how passive aggressive, is incredibly frustrating, disappointing, and degrading. I hope you find peace and independence so you can live your life free of other’s delusions.
I often wonder if the numbers of the religiously unaffiliated are not much, much higher, but some of the people are still afraid to come out of the closet…
Xtians always like to simultaneously beat their chest about their supposed numbers (and they are often wrong about them, I’ve noticed - they seem to consistently overestimate, by quite a lot, the percentage of Americans that are xtian) but simultaneously play the DARVO game - while they denigrate and try to ostracize and marginalize everyone not in their little book club, they act like it is THEY who are being “oppressed”.
If someone who is agnostic/atheist and has parents like that, or in-laws, etc…and they don’t want to be dealing with that all the time, well, I get it. They might just skip going to church and be mostly quiet about their positions on religion. And when they get polled, they might even list themselves as xtian.
