Child raising and touchy subjects.

[Foxaèr]

The only time I became terrified of Hell was when I realized I was gay. I honestly believed that if I did not become straight that I would burn for eternity when I died. It took me a couple of years to come to terms with who I was as a homosexual, accepting myself even if the church would not due to its ignorance.

i know things are coming like, "i am ashamed of how you tell your children there isn't a god" "where are they going to get their moral from" blah blah blah.

I would not concern myself with what others think. Everyone parents differently, and so long as you provide your children with love and security it does not matter what some religious nutter thinks in regards to your parenting style. After all, I personally consider indoctrination a form of child abuse, but the law does not recognize that. Neither does the law mandate that you must teach your children about god.

If a theists makes some comment toward you in regards to not teaching your children about god, I would make the comment, You raise your children the way you want, and I will raise my children the way I want, and leave it at that.
