two weeks ago was the first time id seen my grandma in four years, and i had turned atheist in that time. She and my family of course didn't know this yet.
While visting my aunt needed triple bypass surgry (shes fine) so my grandma stayed to watch over her. Well she was sent to a catholic hospitol, (sp??) which had crossess over all the doors, a chapel, and a tv channel dedicated to 24/7 of the mother marys face. Annnd.. a preist that came in before operations. When he asked everyone to hold hands and bow their heads in pray, i stepped back and said i had an errand. My grandmas gaze narrowed and i broke down and joined the circle and pretended to pray.
The next day, my family kept getting calls from people in arizona where my grandma is from asking why parents let their heathen daughter loose.
My grandma had went sobbing on the phone to her pastor, and has a whole church group praying for me to be saved. because im "satanic"My mom, forced me to "pretend" to be christian for the rest of the visit, and banned me from wearing my full metal alchemist blood seal shirt.
Curious i read about the satanic religion, it is not even close to my belifs as an atheist, and i don't believe in satan in the first place.
I got really upset and complained to my uncle that why was it so hard for her to accept me......he just frowned and said....we just can't honey.
i'm really upset my family ended up taking it this way. And more so it ended in an argument how i didn't respect my aunt enough to try and pray for her.
What do you guys think of my situation? any advice? or similar stories????

Wow... That's harsh.
And that's good advice. I just sit there at the back and watch everyone pray... when i go to my grandma's house, I have to go to the church they live by... and I have no choice, so me and my sister go and stay seated.
If it helps, I showed my grandma a picture of a drag queen and I told her that he was gay so it didn't matter... she started to yell at me that ALL gays will go to hell because love of the same sex is SIN.
My sister tried to defend him too.(she's agnostic) My grandma was yelling at her now. I just tuned her out and sat in the recliner. I heard her say, "How can someone who went to church for years, not believe in God?" My sister had her head turned to the armrest of the couch, she was sitting on.
My grandma turned to me and said, "You know, it seems like you're going into a fire, I can't pull you out because you keep pushing me away. I'm scared for you, Meghan" I stared at her, before standing up and walking outside.
I'm not sure if that helps. sweatdrop I also have yet to tell my paw paw...
