Coming out as Atheist
#19
RE: Coming out as Atheist
Welcome to the forum Smile

It's good to question things. The truth doesn't change, and it doesn't need protecting.

Bear in mind that joining a religion isn't just about whether it's supernatural claims are "true". It's also about whether you actually want to be a part of the religion. For example, I wouldn't join any religion even if they were true, because I find worship to be a creepy concept, and any God who demands it while holding my future hostage can get lost. I don't need anyone telling me how to live my life, not even God, and especially not people presuming to speak for God.

Also, the abrahamic religions in particular are poisonous and immoral, so I'd especially not become part of them.

Of course it's your decision. I'm just giving my perspective, and that people often overlook this vital part. For example, it wouldn't be enough to prove Hitler was real (in his lifetime) to convince you to become a Nazi, would it?

Keep questioning Smile You've come to the right place. If people try and shut down your questions or give you shitty, deflecting answers, then there's something suspicious going on. Feel free to bring us anything in particular that bothers you.
