Should I come out?
#1
Should I come out?
So I recently read a thread about a certain air traffic control atheist coming out to his friends and family. I am thinking about doing the same. I just want to hear some second opinions here. FYI I'm 14, live in the U.S. with reasonably religious parents. I don't think they would like kick me out or anything though. My family has a history of Atheists. I have a grandfather and an uncle who are both non-believers.
"I trust my own reason and my own capacities to think and educate myself and to reach greater levels of knowlege and status through learning and work. To me, wishing for a god is like wishing to be a slave, it is like declaring that one is too incompetent to handle one's own affairs." - the germans are coming
