Deconversion process help me

Oh. Then I misunderstood your post. I thought the concept of hell was still bothering you on occasions.

Are there things from your previous faith which continue to pop up and bother you?

Not really. Not to me. The fact that I still have close family members that I love that think bad things about me because I don't believe bother me.

But it's because I see them as trapped in the mindfuck of religion and it makes them act counter to their own personalities. That pisses me off sometimes. Not at them. At religion for religion doing that to them. And to see my brother passing that onto my nephew and neice. That bothers me.

But we just avoid the concept.

I'm actually leaving my kids with my parents for summer bible camp next week like we do every summer. I don't raise my kids religious. But I don't think it's right to not let them learn about religion.

And it makes my parents happy. I just teach my kids that its not necessarily the truth.

My girls can grow up to be Baptists, Mormons, Scientologists, Muslims, I don't care.

I'm still going to love the snot out of them. I just want them to be happy.

My parents, well it matters to them I'm not baptist.

Who gives a crap? I'm not letting religion come between my love for my girls. Not on my side. I'll love them no matter what they decide to believe.

That's the liberation that comes with atheism. Religion doesn't condone or allow that kind of liberation.
