In another thread I said that I thought you were a Baptist or a fundy Christian but apparently I'm mistaken. Sorry about that.
I would caution you not to tell your community. There was a case of a chap who's a journalist in Saudi and he said something in his Facebook and he was arrested and they wanted to execute him. If you live in a Muslim country, you must not tell them. They're barbaric in these Muslim countries. They might even stone you to death or cut your head off. I saw a video of these things before and it's REAL.
What I would do if I were a Muslim is I'd say all the pious things, get a permit to leave the country ostensibly to preach Islam (in these countries they are very oppressive. I imagine you need a permit to leave the country). I'll then go to England and seek asylum. After that I will CURSE Allah, Muhammad the paedophile and all the Islamic saints and icons. I will eat pork, smear lard on the Quran and post videos on youtube and send them to my former Islamic country. This is what I would do to such a ridiculously oppressive religion.
A few Muslim countries threatened war on Britain (I think) because some guy burned 300 copies of the Koran. So, I suggest you hold back a bit.
These Muslim countries are useless. They are weak and all they can do is to make a lot of noise. If they were that strong, they would have got rid of Israel but Israel can act as the Big Bully there because Muslim countries are too backward to fight properly. I'm not worried about Iran's nuclear ambitions because there is a greater chance their bombs will blow up in their faces - just like the terrorist with the underwear bomb that only managed to burn his privies. Haha. One of my classmates who knows these things tells me that it's all to do with their prayers. They pray five times a day and their prayers have to be said with the chap knocking his head against the floor in front of him. If you do that five times a day all your life, it's going to hurt your brains. But I don't want to say too much because people will say it's racist even though there are Caucasians who are Muslims.
I have a secret plan that can end terrorism. It's called Greneknight's Ultimate Peace Plan. It involves bombing a certain place that will end Islamic terrorism. It will actually nullify Islam and all the terrorists will realize it's not worthwhile to kill themselves in suicide bombs because there ain't gonna be no heaven with 77 virgins. I will talk about it when I become PM of Britain.

Israel won because America fucking supplied it with the best technology (even when the US supplied Arab nations with weapons, they left key technological advances out) and the Arab nations got second-rate shit the Soviets didn't even want.
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.

I assume you still live with your parents then - since YOU did not indicate otherwise
I have a question for you
WHY is it important for you to have your parents know you are an atheist?
(Or are no longer a christian)
I actually don't live with my parents. I didn't know I had to state that, haha.
It wasn't important. I was actually trying to keep it under-wraps until I graduated. My mom was snooping around my Facebook and discovered I'd made a group to try and get a SSA chapter started at my college.

So, your plan to end terrorism starts by bombing some place?

Yes, but it doesn't kill anyone. It's just a place considered holy but once it's destroyed, all the suicide bombers will readily give up their bombs. What is wrong with dropping a bomb which doesn't hurt anyone and after that, you won't hear of suicide bombers ever again?
Sorry I can't give details until I am the PM. That's why it's a secret plan. It's a brilliant plan and it's 100% foolproof.

So close. I was all geared up to vote for you, but now that I know that your plan won't actually kill anyone - I don't know. It'll be a toss-up. I like a little blood-lust in my politicians.

Your parents sound like real shitheads.
1.) Move out.
2.) Tell them via phone call.

I'm only advocating the bombing of a very small place when not a soul is there. That way, nobody is hurt. But the significance of that demolition project is this - all the suicide bombers will give up their murderous intent. They will decide there is no heaven with 77 virgins after all. And they'll value their lives because they'll know this is the only life anyone is ever going to have. An after-life is pure wishful thinking.
It's a brilliant plan that doesn't hurt anyone. But like I said, you've got to wait until I'm PM. Or better still, if I can be President of the USA. I'll just change my birth certificate by adding a 3-letter word to my birthplace: NEW England.
nobody cares if you blow up the dome of the rock..............and it's 72 virgins, not 77 (not that it's in the quran either way)
