Hello
February 11, 2010 at 2:37 am
Hello all, I will spare you the details of my un-conversion til some time later. I'm still in high school, junior to be exact, but I've been an atheist under-cover for about a year and a half now at a Christian school where I'd likely fear for my life if my true beliefs were revealed. Don't let my age fool you either, or you could as I don't really care, because I'll still pwn you when push comes to shove, but lets hope it doesn't get that far.... I kid  , I kid . But anyways, it's difficult putting up with such hypocrisy 24/7 and not being able to say anything. I'm just waiting til college, and until then I'll vent my frustration and satisfy my long unsatisfied urges to openly state my beliefs. This might also explain to you why I'm being vague, but that's to protect my identity because some people around me are pretty crazy. One last note: Don't say I'm not a true atheist because I'm not willing to be open about it. I am completely surrounded by Christians and the shit I'd have to put up with (It'd be a shit-load) wouldn't be worth even my dignity.
Peace,
... if someone wouldn't mind giving me a sweet pseudonym or alias, that'd make my day

Don't worry, I think a lot of us have been through what you are going through now. If you want a place to vent your spleen then you've found it.
Welcome along

"There ought to be a term that would designate those who actually follow the teachings of Jesus, since the word 'Christian' has been largely divorced from those teachings, and so polluted by fundamentalists that it has come to connote their polar opposite: intolerance, vindictive hatred, and bigotry." -- Philip Stater, Huffington Post

I think your name is delicious 
Welcome to the forums, Cho
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

Welcome to the forums.
If you don't believe in God(s), then you're an atheist by definition whether you keep your atheism secret from people or not.

Welcome Chocobo!
Spill your heart out here. Don't worry, the christians here are fully domesticated according to AAI standards. That's why they wear ear tags.
