Greetings from Louisiana!
August 30, 2013 at 9:49 am
Hello people! I am a 20 year college student who is currently in his second year. I'm actually new to forums in general so I hope that don't look like too much of a newbie. I actually decided to become an atheist only recently, so I am still thinking and researching about certain things. The only thing about this conversion of mine is that I actually haven't told the church that I am a part of about it yet. In fact, I'm actually still working with the people there to help out with their youth group, which I have been a part of for five years. I do plan on coming out, however, I want to make sure that I can find some new people out there that I socialize with after the fact. It tears at me inside knowing that what I'm doing is like betrayal to them, but this is the only way I can think of build myself up in this new period of my life. I hope to talk with you guys soon and to help contribute to the site in the future!

Welcome from another Louisiana atheist. I hope you enjoy your time here.

As for feeling like you have somehow betrayed people in your church, drop that bag of bricks immediately. You are not in any way obligated to explain yourself to them. Those who are true friends will demonstrate that soon enough. As for the rest, fuck 'em.

Hello and we are glad to be able to pop your forums cherry. Welcome to AF! ^_^
When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
