To those who were once believers and are now atheists, some advice?
#19
RE: To those who were once believers and are now atheists, some advice?
I haven't actually lost any friends because of it, at least that I'm aware of, anyway. My mother and her sisters have been somewhat distant, however.

I've always viewed it this way: If they were truly your friends they would accept you for who you are. It may be hard at first, but it's their loss, not yours, and they're not worthy of you attention or thoughts.

Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:

"You did WHAT?  With WHO?  WHERE???"
