I had a discussion with my mother this evening about religion. I asked her if she would kill me if God told her to. She said “Yes, if I was certain God was telling me to do so.” I asked her, “How would you be certain without doubting God which is a sin?” She said, “I would seek counsel before I did it.” I said, “That’s doubting God and also you would locked up in a mental institution.” She said, “If God appeared here and said to kill me would you do it?” I said, “Hell no, I’d kill him. If he wants it done so badly he should do it himself” Then I proceeded to go off the deep end with my comical antics on religion about the Yates woman killing her kids (not that I find it at all funny) but I used it to prove a point. I said, “What if God told her to kill her kids? Did she do anything wrong?” My mom says “Yes, of course.” We got into a heated discussion, although, mildly amusing I must admit. So amusing that I was driven to put red paint over my door and print the words “Passover” on it. I told her that I was taking up all the keys to the doors in the house and running her through a metal detector before she ever came in. Religious zealots are psycho. My own mother who is typically full of rational thought is too a zealot that can be nuts if God so inclines to tell her to murder her own child. And yet she’s still my best friend…
