Religion

"Mommy, why do we go to church?"

"Because, we love God, and we tell him by going to church."

"But, why do we pray every night?"

"We pray to show that we love him."

"Mommy, does God love us?"

"Yes he does."

"Then why doesn't he tell us?"

"He will tell us one day."

"Why doesn't he stop all of us fighting?"

"Because he is testing our strength, our devotion to him."

"Mommy."

"Yes."

"Why did he have to kill daddy?"

"It was daddy's time. One day you and I will die too and get to be with him again."

6 Years Later

"I don't understand how someone so generous and giving could take everything away from someone, just like that. To prove their loyalty to him. Like it's a bet. That seems like a selfish thing to me."

"Go to your room and beg for your forgiveness. How dare you question our lord."

"Maybe it's time you should."

At School

"I'm sorry I don't understand that word, atheism?"

"Wow have you been in a hole. It's the religion where you don't believe in anything. When you die, you die. You are stuck in the ground until the worms eat your remains."

"Oh... well that doesn't really sound like me. I would like to think we go somewhere afterwards, I just don't believe a lot of the things my mother tells me."

"Oh, then your agnostic."

Back Home.

"Mom, I think I'm agnostic."

"Oh lord!" She cries. "Please forgive my son for his sins! He is just a boy"

The mother then drags her only son, back to the church. She puts him in a confession and makes him stay there until he understands their religion. After that she puts him in a catholic school where he is beaten everyday, for having questions.

A day before he turned eighteen, he commit suicide. He was buried right next to his father. That was the day his mother stopped going to church.
