In reply to the discussion: My Atheist Xmas tree painting [View all]lunatica
(53,410 posts)58. I know how painful it is
I lost my sister when she became a Born Again Christian. She said god is jealous and hates gay people so she has to too. I imagine he hates a lot of groups of people. Im a heterosexual atheist so she wrote me a 3 page letter describing in detail how god was going to throw me into the pit of hell and all the punishments I would receive there for eternity.
It was so detailed that part of me thinks she really enjoyed imagining and writing it. We havent spoken in 15 years. I doubt we ever will again.
