We don't have the code to embed videos here, I think it's on the 'To Do' list  ;D

Seen it before. Something tells me that kid is gonna move the first chance he gets...

If it were my mother, I'd probably hit her in the face with a flower pot... (Seriously) But that's probably just me. I think it's fair of me to demand my parents to be on MY side rather than god's no matter what. Why..? Because they are my parents.

I feel sorry for the kid. That woman is psycho. Hope he sticks to his guns.

Isn't that weird, how many a parent profess that they'd jump in front of the train for their kid (and maybe they would... A good parent would... At least for a half-decent kid... I think.), but when it comes to religion or sexual orientations, it's god's way or the highway for the same people...

Me, I call it hypocritical.

Chances are he'll resent that treatment from his mother. Whether or not he remains an atheist, at this point, doesn't really matter. His predicament truly sucks. And it is very sad.

She uses the word 'fucking'.  Perhaps in the US this is not incompatible with professing Christianity, but to a Brit it's almost unthinkable in a conversation about religion.

In fact, in mainstream British society you wouldn't often find a family in which this reaction would happen.

We are very lucky that bigoted faith-heads have not yet taken over in the UK.

The only Xtian families I have known that speak that way would be catholic, and the way it sounds, that is probably what that family is.
