Let's hope you stay safe in Saudi Arabia; as we all know, Saudi Arabia has virtually no protections for any religion other than the government's particular favourite interpretation of Islam, and there's probably a good chance that you could get arrested for your faith, or lack thereof. Most of us are lucky enough to live in a country where we at least have some modicum of rights.
"watch carefully <3" and thats where my switch flicked!! i had a huge fight with her on facebook and after that day she never brought that topic back again but its still awkward when i talk to her although i had lotta fun takin it on her oh wells cos she obviously deserved it but my point is my friend hang in there your not alone! i know for sure that there are more atheist out there in saudi arabia! as for suicide oh who of us didnt think of that!chill we all reach that point someday as paramore once said "the worst part is before it gets any better we're headed for a cliff and on the free fall i will realize i'm better off when i hit the bottom" tomorrow will be better "inshallah" hahahaaa xD
oh it could further than just getting arrested actually if the government finds out that your an apostate of Islam they give you 3 days to covert back or they can sentence you for an Execution thats why i find it pretty difficult to find atheist's here cause no atheist will tell their friends and family that they dont believe in god and i cant go around saying im an atheist neither! its kindda tough to live in such country for any atheist but i still have hope that the rules might change maybe not in a year or two but whether they religious people here like it or not change is gonna happen one day =)
