Father Disowned Me Because I'm Still Atheist

His father stopped associating with him because he was a cunt, not because he was an atheist.

I don't boast publicly about my beliefs or lack of them on Facebook as I would not like to read someone else doing the same about theirs.

I have respectfully declined to attend the churches of my parents on many occasions. Occasionally they will still try and convince me to go, like on Christmas.

Sometimes I will go because it is easier than spending the day having an argument, I am capable of respectfully observing another history/culture objectively, and I like presents and Christmas dinner.

Now, regarding the job situation, a lot of youths are struggling currently and it is probably best to keep as many friends as possible, even if you do not agree with their religion.

For the most part I have found Christians to be quite charitable people. I have also found that friends come and go more-so than family.

In short, OP wants to disown his father because his father is not an atheist.

I'm pretty sure the title of the thread says the opposite of what you just said. I'm just trying to understand where you got 'OP wants to disown his father' from, well, any of his posts. Ascribing false motivations is classic victim blame game tactics.
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.
