Father Disowned Me Because I'm Still Atheist

[LivingNumbers6.626]

This can easy be put right, as far as the OP can do anyway. "He can say dad, I am sorry I got mad and insulted you, and I'd like to have a relationship with you , outside of your religion if you can manage that." The OP is a grown man. He has a wife now and this relationship is far more important to him at the moment. What does she think? Is she atheist too? It sounds like they were forced into marriage. Can they make it work, do they love each other? This is the important thing the OP has to concentrate on.

Absolutely. We both love each other. The things that we have discussed is that if we weren't religious before we would have waited a bit longer to get married. But she really is the woman of my dreams and I'm incredibly lucky to have her by my side.

This notion that respect for a belief must be granted, is all the bullshit the theists here sprout. No.

It's actually OP who's requesting respect for his beliefs, or lack thereof:

do me a huge favor and respect my lack of belief.

He then says he doesn't want to get into religion with his father, but just wants him to be a Dad:

I dont need an atonement, salvation, or superstitions. drop the stereotypical religious stuff. just be a dad. thats how I like you best.

So the father obliges by not talking about religion:

And the job searching?

And the douchebag son bitches that the father did as he requested:

I just wrote you a long message, all of which you ignored. check yourself.

I'd love to argue with you, but I honestly don't care to.

Like any Christian, you have assumed the answers before you have asked the appropriate questions. How does it feel to draw conclusions without pulling in all the variables of the last 3 years? Dare to have a conversation?

I'm moving on.
