Well I'm really happy with my decision and I have made new friends in church who share my beliefs. My life has been more joyful and I try to be more kind, loving, gentle, patient, self controlling, good, faithful. ( yeah fruits of the spirit. ) are you saying that all Christians are dumb, misguided, retards who have no foundation in science or logical reasoning?
Well I don't care. I know what real Christians are like and all of them are happy with their lives and feel fulfilled and wouldn't give a damn if you told them to get a psychiatrist because they clearly don't have any problem.
But me and my friends wouldn't tell anyone they have a psychological problem just for stating their views. Now if you can relate to that while telling your parents you're atheists I'm really sorry.
But real christians would never judge like that. In the few hours since I joined the forums I've been called pathetic, a looney, and now this, while I tried my best to keep it as respectful as possible
Setting aside that some of the most judgmental places I've ever been are churches and church groups, what you are missing is an understanding of where you are. An agnostic thinking of converting might be welcome in a church, but an atheist who wants to de-convert the congregation would not.
Unlike the church, we welcome you all right in for discussion. But also unlike the church, we don't just nod and smile at everything you say, we ask for facts and reasons. And from my stand point, saying I left Hinduism for Christianity is the equivalent of saying, I used to believe in fairies, but now I've decided that they're really Martians because Martians are so much nicer than fairies.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god. If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
