For you, its over 9000 !
If you are an atheist, then you should go to church because you want to spend some time of yours FOR YOUR PARENTS, not for god..
My opinion. I am not an atheist (i am a theist), even so, i dont believe in religions, nore in churches, and also like that: If your parents are happy for that small gift, if my parents would be: we should do it.. cmon.. isnt like shooting yourself or something, get over it!

Then they're illegally holding you as a hostage. Call the police because they are clearly using a gun to do so. Otherwise you're a fucking retard.

Even worse, they're threatening me with eternal damnation if I don't go.

Just roll with it like I do. It's a minor price to pay for maintaining family cohesion.

A religion that threatens to send a person to eternal damnation for simply not praying instead of just not being an asshole is not a religion worth investing your time in. Nevermind that the fire and brimstone idea of Hell was bullshit cooked up by the Church and never was originally part of Christianity in the first place.
If it turns out that some religion is correct, but you go to hell simply because you didn't attend enough mass yet were a decent upstanding human being, that deity is a cunt.

Yeah, but if you read the OT it's pretty clear YHWH is a cunt.
>>463096
Yeah but even as an atheist, Jesus sounds like a pretty cool dude and not that much different than the peace happy pot smokers you see in college.
Besides, OT is from the times when the Jews were war mongering assholes rampaging across Levant.

But it is. Look at Matthew 13:5, Revelation 21:8, Mark 9:43, and Jude 1:7 for examples
Move out of the house

Go to mass Matt.
Why is this an issue? Do you think you are going to burst on flames or some shit like that?
