Not because I wish I hadn't but because of the way I treated those around me.
I wish I was better tempered. I had so much hostility and said so many harsh things to religious family and friends alike. Sure, my opposition had sometimes started the hostility first. Sure I had said sorry about most of my trespasses. And sure, most of them proved to be terrible people and being young I found it difficult to not get emotionally blind.
But really...I wish I had been a better man. Atleast to my parents. Wish I had been more passive. Wish I had ice for my boiling blood.
Anyone said terrible things to friends and family upon coming out as atheist?
I didn't, no. And I won't be rude to anyone unless they've driven me to that point with their own rudeness.
Have you apologized to those you feel you might have offended?
