I had a similar discussion with my mother. I pretty much said something along the lines of "I already have one father that does nothing for me, why do I nee another absent Father?"

I'm in this state where I believe in a Maker, I just don't respect the oppressive nature of most religions. :/

I think you basically left her without any argument to make, that was a very good point you brought. Anyway, you are a heathen because you do not acknowledge her god.

That's what I think happened. She'd never admit to it though. :)

Oh noes. I are a heathen, whatever shall I do? Go out drinking with my friends I guess. XD
