Coming out of the Atheist closet...

[Scented Nectar]

Im a child of mixed ethnicity, my father is African, my mother European/Korean, and in America, it seems like there absolutely no black atheists, because religion is so deeply ingrained in their culture, with this being the case, my father is an EXTREME bible basher.

There doesn't seem to be many who are open about it yet, but I think it's starting to happen. Here's a couple of youtubes by http://www.youtube.com/user/greydonsquare, the first one is called Black Atheist. The second one below, Stockholm Syndrome, has a very catchy chorus, but the words kind of make me cry, not that that seems to stop me from listening again and again.

I see there are 3 new ones at GreydonSquare's page that I haven't heard yet. So many youtubers, so little time....

But I'll give you the same advice I give everyone. Don't lie to him.

I'd normally agree with this, but if Eywa is still living with them, then it might not be a good idea. People have gotten kicked out by their parents for that in some cases. Also, the disowning part is a real threat too. If there is money to be inheritted someday, it might be worth it to keep quiet. Yeah, I know, I am totally cold hearted, but practical. With difficulty, I stayed on my bitch of a mother' s good side for years, going against my personal integrity, for no other reason but to get her money when she croaked a couple years ago. Now I have my first condo of my own ever (even though I'm already in my late 40s). It was completely worth it, in retrospect.
