Need a place to confide

[Pyrrho]

Welcome!

I'm not against religion. In fact, I'm comfortable saying, we all have the right to believe what we want.

I dearly hope most atheists here would agree. That doesn't mean it's a good idea though.

I'm a happily married man, with two alamazing children.

It's ok to make up new adjectives for your children

My wife doesn't fully know if my disbelief in God. I've tried opening up a time or two, but she just says she doesn't want to talk about it, because it scares her. I get it, she doesn't want to be "dammed". Just like everyone whom has a strong faith in their religion.

I'm sorry, that sucks.

My wife is Mormon, and my father, and stepmother are catholic, while my biological mother is Mormon.

Oh jees...

None of them fully know that I just don't believe it. I can't talk to them about it, because they get upset, and disappointed. So I keep it to myself. I'm not in any way "anti-God", I just strongly feel as if it is a fairytale, created so that society had a reason for morals, because conformists don't have the full mind capacity to think for themselves, and decide what is right and wrong.

After your further elaborations, which sound reasonably anti-God, I find it interesting that you feel the need to stress that you are in fact not anti-God. What do you mean by that?

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a science freak

Pity!

however, everything that has literal proof in this world, can be shown through scientific facts.

Oh, you're a science freak. Go on...

For many years now, I cannot put any belief in fideism. But, I'm alone in this journey in everyday life, being as I'm surrounded in such strong believers that God exists. Therefore, I confide only internally, and sometimes that's just not enough. I'm hoping I've found a community to help me with such a battle. Thank you, to everyone that has taken the time to read this, and give your welcomes, and responses.

Forgive me my sarcasm, I had too much red wine. Looking forward to your further insights!

I see that this is a resurrected thread, but you are such a blasphemer that I must respond.  Too much red wine?  If you are still living and able to post, then that is an impossibility!  You should have a greater respect for Dionysus, you godless heathen!
