16. I feel good/bad for you
Torn that your family members have to be estranged hypocrites like that, and happy for you that you live a sane life where you are free to think for yourself.

And when did Thanksgiving become a religious holiday, anyway? Did I miss the meeting?

Perhaps you need to point out to these morons that Thanksgiving was a chance for the pilgrims to give thanks to the local indian population for helping them NOT STARVE TO DEATH!

What if those indians (heathens, mind you) decided to have the same attitude your brother has? Some puritan christians might have discovered cannibalism cooking that winter.

Forgive me for going off on a rant, but the level of brainwashing being imposed by this latest round of religious revivalism is scaring the cranberry stuffing out of me.

Oh, and if you need a table, you're welcome to share ours. There was a time when this was considered the christian thing to do.
