Telling my parents that I'm an atheist- need advice.

[Eel_LahjicK]

I'm in the same boat man, and am brand new on here, so feel free to PM or E-Mail me if you need to talk. I can't come out either because of my father, who like yours, is impossible and never wrong and has nasty temper. My father would ignore his family all day if he could (because god is more important), which he sort of does anyway. He prays every possible catholic prayer he comes across and then adds them to his daily regiment. It's hard to give advice, because you know better than anyone else on here how he is going to react and how the living situation is going to be once you open up. I want to say be as honest as you can to everyone, but as you know it's easier said then done. I would suggest making the slightest questions in a normal conversation with your dad about certain things you don't agree with like slavery in the bible, etc. Throw out the slightest hints, questions, and doubts you have and get his reaction on it, and use your judgment from there. Hope this helps, I empathize with all people in our situation. It sucks!
