When my sister was born, my family was in financial ruin and we thought it was in her best interest for her to be raised by my wealthy Uncle Pierce and Aunt Melissa.
Aside from being wealthy, they're also lunatic evangelists. No matter.
Up until now, I've had what I perceive as the lack of self-respect to lie myself off as a christian, just to get along with my family. But at a recent family function, I admitted my strong athiestic beliefs, and my uncle is so horrified he will not allow my sister and I to communicate.
I'm pretty pissed off.
And then I find out July and FBH lose in GOM!
Never have I been so furious in one day.

On a happy side note: you can save a bundle by switching to geico.

You need to find a way to either make amends or get around crazy uncle.
Thats some serious fucked up shit right there though.
Do you know her thoughts on the situation?

How close were you with your sister before this happened?

Not too close, but now that I have a car and all I planned on becoming a bit closer to my sister.
Keep in mind my uncle is pretty deep into the fundamentalist shit. He supports the mass murder of the non-christians. Especially muslims and homosexuals.
What bothers me more than him not letting me and my sister speak, is the knowledge of just how much he has indoctrinated her into it. Putting this bridge between us is making absolutely certain that the conditioning he has put her through will in no way crack or crumble.

If you get her pregnant he'll be forced to let you visit.

I think the problem is that the sister is siding with the uncle. If she was brought up in an evangelical house then its very likely that she has their same strong beliefs, and therefore, she will not want to speak with her atheist sinner of a brother.
If that assumption is wrong and she wants to see you too, then I think you guys will find a way.

Sorry to hear that. It's very difficult being in a family with people who are very sensitive about their religious beliefs.. well mainly if you disagree :p

She has strong beliefs, but not twisted to the point of hatred for others. Not yet.
This is what he's trying to do, imo.

tell him that in the christian, and muslim holy books that it talks about loving thy neighbor, and to be open minded and even if you don't get on your knees and blow jesus every sunday you can still be a cool guy.
How old is your sister? Just hang out with her.. Screw what your uncle thinks
