Yeah i haven't been here in a while but I'm back....
Anyhow, my little brother is an atheist. That's right, that quiet, intelligent and well-behaved twelve year old that my hardcore christian family dotes over is a heathen. He attends church like a good little boy, does what is asked of him, makes A's, and yet he is the very enemy that our family (and most people here in Georgia, US) despise with an utmost passion.
It was all new to me that not-so-shocking week ago. As I had suspected he was an extremely weak christian or deist (and at most, agnostic), the genuine atheism that he described as his beliefs - lack of belief, excuse me - stirred within me some brotherly pride. Logic and common sense (along with a bit of science) was all he needed to debunk the writhing bullshit that plagues our area. I let him know that his big brother is one to, and our already strong relationship may have leveled up a bit. Some of his skepticism was picked up from me I suppose, but most of the work was done by him. Personally, I applaud him
Ever since me telling him I am an atheist as well, he has been venting off a wealth of frustration. Often, he'll remind me of how atheists are considered immoral and untrustworthy. This kid is fucking gold, so you can only imagine how angry he becomes after hearing non-christians insulted by his family and miscellaneous jerkoffs. I try to calm him down, but I detect rage in him still. Misanthropy is not the concern, I'd just like him to stop worrying. Any suggestions on how to connect with him? Such a request may sound odd as he is my brother and not yours, but my ability to comfort others and connect emotionally is something to be lacking....
