To a Theist Parent, from an Atheist Child


As Seen On: Friendly Atheist

This is a poem I wrote for my mom who is a Christian. I wrote it about a week after I told her I was bi and she expressed her bigoted view on the subject. I read it to her already, but it still didn’t affect her in any way. I figured I may not be the only one out there that has this problem, so maybe this would help someone else. Feel free to share with anyone you think this would help. . . . If you can’t understand the poem [the lyrics may be found here by clicking “Show more” below the video].
