The rundown

I'm 9: I just killed God. Again.

Sorry to hear that The way your mother behaved is disgraceful and a demonstration of how religion rots people from the inside. I think agreeing to just not talk about it is best, unless they are coming to you calmly for an actual discussion and not just mud slinging.

I hope you can worth things out. You're brave to have come all the way out, good for you. The more we have out there, the easiest for the next guy. Most of all, show them atheists can be decent people and shatter their pre conceptions. Don't ever sink to their level.

Thanks man, appreciate it. we have worked much out yes...but not to say their isnt room for approvement. I agree with your notion of not even bringing it up, works wonders lol, sometimes though I get people getting on my case about my disbelief and, being who I am, defended my position. Most times its an actually civil debate, but in the case of first comming out...there was much upsetting discussion if you know what I mean.

I probably would have never came out with it were it not for my mom asking me quite randomly,
"You still believe in god?"

I coulda just lied, but deep down it was like my inner voice was just tired of lying, and in such said no. So now they know, but its ok.

I myself will treat people with respect and courtasy regardless of religious affiliation. Yea sometimes I may say a thing or two to clear up misconceptions, but I do really try to keep it civil.

And Im sorry for the whole Agnostic-Atheist thing in my post. I was in no way trying to degrade atheism or atheists, just wanted to express that...idk...there may be some "creator" out there, but have no reason to believe so. If that makes sence at all.
