I am curious as to if I should flat out tell my oldest (13) I do not believe in god or do I let him arrive to that conclusion on his own?
Well no wonder you became an atheist..
Catholicism is a satanic corrupt perverted "religion" and must have put thousands off Jesus over the centuries!
We need them and any other organised religion like we need a hole in the head!
Remember, Jesus said "You have one teacher, me" (Matt 23:10)
As for your son, if he asks you why you're an atheist, just tell him straight out why you don't like Jesus, and take it from there..
Please do not put words in my mouth.
I never said I don't like Jesus.
I have no feeling either way.
That is like saying because I do not believe in the Easter Bunny (tooth fairy, santa, ect) that I dislike them.
When my son's ask why I am an atheist, I'll tell them that once I saw through the farce, I just could not unsee it.
I really do not want to push them either way.
My main goal is to guide them to be self sufficient, well adjusted, productive members of society.
If they believe in god that is fine, if they don't that is fine to.
