New atheist.. question

[Angrboda]

ive recently come out to my christian parents that i am an atheist, and i have gotten in many arguments with them (as you can imagine). and there is always one statement they make that i can not seem to respond to.

This being family, I would suggest that you have a duty of care towards those you love, as much as you have a duty to truth and freedom of conscience.

Outside of family, however, let the fur fly!


And I appear to have misread your question. Towards the specific question, I suggest not concentrating on specific questions, and instead devote yourself to a broad education including religion, secularism, atheism, and logic. The answers will come.
