they may be hurt any way you choose to tell them, but the sooner the better. get it out there and let the healing begin for them, nobody's getting younger. if you make it casual and not a speech, perhaps they at best won't think you're the "rabid" type. lol.
that's one of the dilemmas i'm facing with this. being casual is one thing, but the more i look into it, the more of a "rabid" type i am. i am becoming more and more anti-theist and anti religion every day.
