how to live as an Atheist in a Christian family
#11
RE: how to live as an Atheist in a Christian family
My advice would be to talk with your family at sunday's dinner about it. Don't sound aggressive (even though it will most likely get pretty heated) because you won't win with that attitude. Try to be calm and clearly explain the reasons why you don't believe in god, but at the same time not appear as someone who won't believe in god ever again. Be prepared for "you're going to hell" and yadda yadda yadda. Just stay as cool as possible. Remember that you can always come here and talk about anything that's on your chest. Bird
