Much needed advice. I need more atheist friends.

I did not know you, but now I do. Welcome to the forums

Ahhh, Atheists. What ass holes we can be.

Atheists have a difficult mission, because when you remove religion, a big gap is left. An existential gap. Children don't have the necessary wisdom to fill the gap entirely, so they look towards you to fill it. It is a great responsibility that cannot be dodged. You chose the hard way, so you have to be ready.

I would make it sound like an exciting challenge, saying: "Honey, every human being wants to become immortal through scientific advances. Make no mistake, every human so far ended up dead, giving their lives towards progress and scientific advances, but where they have failed, you will succeed."

It is the truth, and justifies everything, going to school, struggling etc.

Better then some bullshit Adam and Eve story lol. Read the rest of my previous post and you will understand what I mean. Parents like you are not you, they are parents in your SITUATION. You mistook SITUATION for BELIEFS. You thought I meant parents who believe like you.
