Told my sister-in-law I was an Atheist. She nearly had a stroke....

31. Hilarious!

You certainly have a lot of patience!

I think women who get education degrees are just going to college to do something easy until they snag a man and get their MRS degree, as it's called.

At one state school I attended, everybody in the education department had an A average. And that probably included the Ph.D. students as well.


I think people with paper doctorates (not M.D.s) who insist on being called Doctor socially are just snotty as hell. I had a former FIL who had a Ph.D. in chemistry and insisted on being called "Doctor" socially. It's OK to be called Doctor if you are a Ph.D. and are a professor.
Or a celebrity lecturer talking to the public like we had with Carl Sagan and now have with Neil deGrasse Tyson.

Lo these thirty-some odd years later, I myself have a Juris Doctor, a law degree, and NEVER introduce myself as a doctor and don't talk about it very often.

When I called my aunt to tell her my mother (her older sister) had died, she gave me a commercial for Jesus and said "I urge you to believe" and said "When you have a funeral I want to be there." I told her that her sister, her mother and stepfather were all atheists when they died, believed there was no afterlife, and they were down with it. Perfectly content with being nothing after death.

I guess Auntie Good Christian would rather they had all died in terror of going to hell. I was so mad that I didn't have a funeral for my mom. Because I didn't want to have to deal with Auntie Good Christian.
