Tell me something GC. When exactly were you in this kid's shoes? What qualifies you to offer him advice? Many of the atheists on this site have been in his shoes. For many of them the consequences of coming out to their religious parents were nothing short of disastrous. Yet here you are telling him to ignore them and listen to you. Do this kid a favor GC and fuck off.
I'm trying to help him be a man, all I see others doing is making him a coward and ashamed of who he believes he is. You have no idea what shoes I've walked in so keep quite.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
