THAT could have gone better. But, it could have gone worse. I think my foster father is in denial. His adoptive son is a non-believer? "Oh hell no" is probably his mindset right now, given how he reacted. I think he's a bit devastated, actually, but he didn't seem willing to argue me out of it. I think he realized it was something I hadn't made a decision on lightly.

Foster mother, as I assumed, simply did not care. Well, she CARED but she was like "Hun, it doesn't matter. Doesn't matter you're adopted, doesn't matter you're an atheist, I'll always love ya."

Yeah...it could have been much, much worse. Big Grin
I'm happy it wasn't too rough. :3

I have a red letter on my rear windshield. Then sent it to me for free when I bought my necklace from the RDF.

My experience is that coming out to your family does not lead to a decrease in advice to seek God.

I remember telling my father that I was no longer a Christian and that I thought his god wasn't worthy of worship.


He told me that I was going to hell.
