(Sensitivity required) Coming out to someone
#5
RE: (Sensitivity required) Coming out to someone
I don't think lying is ok; its often a sign that something is wrong. I can see two concerns that your friend may have. The first is that you've been lying to her about what you believe for a while, hence the need for a "coming out." That's going to break the trust she had for you, so don't make it worse by continuing to lie. Secondly, she's going to be concerned for you and try to help; and I don't think that's a sign that she's not accepting. Losing your religion is not like changing political parties to a lot of people, its like wanting a divorce. When people hear that someone close to them is getting a divorce, they naturally want to help prevent it.
