I recently became an Atheist

RE: I recently became an Atheist
Twisted - How you feel about losing your religion reminds me of how I felt about losing mine.  I was raised a devout Christian.  Losing my religion was very painful and unpleasant, but I am much happier now than I ever was when I was religious.  I am not worried about God punishing me, just like I don't worry about other nonexistent things.  But it took a while before I felt good about it.

I will try but online dating is not very popular here,I am currently almost 21 years old so i have some time to find a partner

That's a good idea but i don't want them facing any prejudice or hate just because their father is an Atheist

I am checking your website its pretty great and simple Smile

most of the Atheist and anti religious sites are blocked here so i am glad I found this one,thanks for the support and care Smile

i need to get that in my head but all the religious talks and people praying around me makes me feel bad

You might want to use some sort of proxy site, as Minimalist suggests above.

Also, make sure you never reveal too much information about yourself here, or anywhere else online, as you do not want someone finding out who you are.

And every day you use your computer, before shutting it off or putting it to sleep mode, delete your cookies, and browsing history, and etc., to make sure that if someone gets hold of your computer, it cannot be used against you.

Leaving the country would be great if you can manage it, but that is often not a very easy or realistic thing to do.

As for things like drinking alcohol and other such things prohibited by Islam, I recommend that you not do those things, in order to avoid problems from your neighbors.  If you move to the U.S. or Europe or Australia or New Zealand or... then you might want to try alcohol, but be careful with it if you do.  In moderation, it is good for you, but in excess, it can lead to all sorts of problems.  Some people have trouble moderating their intake, and it would be better to not start at all than to drink too much.  And don't drive a car or operate heavy or dangerous machinery after drinking, as it temporarily affects coordination and etc., making it very dangerous under certain circumstances.  But for now, I recommend that you abstain, just to avoid having your neighbors do very bad things to you.


I am sorry I don't have any great suggestion that will solve your problems.  Be careful, and be safe.
