Wilm-
Welcome! If you're looking to leave your country, maybe going to university overseas is a possibility?
(And yeah...you have 'Catholic' listed as your religious views. You only need to say that if you mean it. You can write about anything you like...kinda like mine.)

My hero Palagius:
Quote:While in Rome, Pelagius first heard of Augustine through his reading of a prayer from Augustine's Confessions: "Give what Thou commandest and command that Thou wilt." To Pelagius, the philosophy expressed in this prayer sounded like the total abandonment of human responsibility and a denial of the ethical dimensions of the Christian faith. If all moral action, thought Pelagius, depends solely on God - both the commanding as well as the ability to obey - God is either an arbitrary tyrant or else man is a creature deprived of free will.

Muslim is the major relligion here and my parents are catholic, in here we're forced to have a relligion (from goverment)
One of the requirement of being Indonesian Citizen is "have a relligion / no atheist/agnostic" in here we have 6 relligion: "Muslim, Protestanism, Catholic, Hindus, Buddha, and Confusianism" then we have to choose one of them
Then, my parents know that i'm an agnostic/atheist and they try to make me believe

I'm ex-catholic, i live in the island of Borneo, Indonesia, i'm 17 Y.o. In Indonesia, we're forced to have a relligion but i feel like i don't believe in God and then it's hard to being an atheist/agnostic/freethinker here.. My parents know that i'm an atheist and they forced me to believe, believe and believe. Most of Indonesian people think that atheist = communism (Muslim is the majority relligion here), they think that being agnostic/atheist/freethinker are bad and they will said: "Allahuakbar, f*** you atheist! F*** you antek america!" It's hard to being agnostic/atheist/freethinker here and it's hard to get out from this country and continue my study (University level) in the country that atheist/agnostic/freethinker is not a problem. Maybe i'll leave this country someday, ASAP
Thanks for reading my story, sorry for the bad english and have a nice day
You announce yourself as x Catholic, but list your religious views next to your avatar as Catholic? What's up with that?
I already renew my profile, thanks

Welcome, wilm!
As long as you live with your parents:
- Be true to yourself
- Pretend to everyone else!
Make sure that the mask doesn't become you.
In the meantime, the internet is a fine venting place, so use and abuse of our resident theists!
