At first when I considered calling myself what I was (athiest) as opposed to what I'd been all my life (Christian), I did an inventory of every believer I knew (which was my entire state and 99% of my family members). I don't know at what point I stopped caring: but, I think it was once I had figured out that my life was mine, not HIS or anyone elses' for that matter. I realized that everyone who loves me will HAVE to love me still no matter what I believe, and if some don't: good riddance. So, I did the natural thing to do: I changed my facebook religion status to agnostic athiestt. Then, I told those who matter the most to me inadvertantly so they wouldn't have to find out via Facebook. My mom was fine with it, my dad I still haven't told outright so he still talks to me like Jesus is forefront on my mind and hopes theres still hope for me, and well: here's what I got from my brother who blamed my best friend who incidentally is still a believer 
Boy did he feel dumb later.
In the end, they'll come around. They gotta respect you just as much as you do them. It's a law or something.

Through the sun of man you are afflicted, and through our disobedience to God we are left to the binding of our ancestors world. You've been decieved, by your new "family." Id rather die in a sewer than say that the creator of the universe doesn't love me. Mom can say that, dad can say that, even YOU can say that, and I shall never believe it. Live your troubled days here, Melissa. You can be sure I will have nothing to do with if your faith has left you.
What makes you think God didnt afflict you to save your life? Your "friend" led you into a path of drug abuse, alcoholism and rape? If anything, your disease saved you from being a puke slathered corpse on a Denver turnpike. And now one of the contd that stole you from peace of life has convinced you that God isnt real? You disappoint me, and unless God finds mercy upon your soul, I will not know you in heaven. These are my terms. Accept Jesus' sacrifice and believe in the creator of all, or be forgotten by the kingdom of heaven.
Hey. Im so sorry I told you to fuck off the other night, I dont care if you don't believe in God. It just took me awhile to absorb it. Im always here for you, no matter how far your away. I love you sis. I always will.

If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!
Dead wrong. The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.
I say again: No exceptions. Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it. As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
