Hello, I have already posted a couple times, but forgot to post on the introductions section; so please forgive me. I have been an atheist since I was 14, it was the best decision I've ever made. I grew up with an atheist father and a christian mother. I know kinda strange haha but, she did force me to go to church services in which I hated going to them. I'm looking forward to being a member of this community.

Welcome

How old are you now? And does your mother know you are an atheist?

I'm 27 now, and yes she does. She's not happy with it since I'm outspoken about it. She grew to respect my opinions which is a fair compromise I think. Although this time of year it's normally a fight.

Sorry to be nosy, but we have kids under 18 here and I try to treat them at least a little more carefully in debate.

Yes, Christmas can bring out the Christian in Christians. --- My Mom's not all the happy with atheism either. Mostly she tries to forget. Wink I try not to rub her nose in it.

It is a little late to be posting here. I'm trying to sleep, and my kids is a sleep, and it is a little noisy. Nothing that can't be forgiven though. Welcome!

Howdy from Texas! Cool Shades And welcome.

I had a loosely similar situation, but last time my Mom and i talked, I think she is an atheist. She is just afraid to say it out loud for fear of pissing off the sky-daddy.

I know we have children here, when I did finally move to being an atheist I did not have a guiding light. I could not talk my dad or my mom since I was scared to. My mom back took it kinda seriously, at the time as well I did not know my father was an atheist. I had to figure out the philosophy's and leaders of atheism, also this was in 90's. The internet back was a little harder to use so, I had to use the library. If the youth under eighteen, you came to the right place for a guiding lite if you decided to keep with atheism. If i had the support of a community back then, the transition would of been a lot easier.
