Forced to lead prayer in school.

[Keenhazard]

Ohh Philippines, that explains it. I know that country really took hold of Christiany-God-things. You could ask your teacher to respect your beliefs, perhaps even in private, and if she does not let you avoid taking prayer lead then lead the prayer while saying such things as "I pray to a God that probably does not exist that one day we all shall be respected for our beliefs or lack thereof."

Sounds good, I'll try that. thanks.!

Good luck, Keen. Also, a side note, holy shit that Typhoon - glad you made it through that okay. I'm a meteorology/climatology nerd so I had to throw that in there!

College?
Now for the cherry on top.... physics class?

What a bunch of retarded people.... -.-'
Yeah, go with Esq... be careful, retarded people can still hurt you.

Yes, most of the subjects, even physics class.

Philippines, College level. How can I handle my teacher?.

Is the tradition to pray to a specific god? Because if it's not, I can happily provide you a list. I think praying to a sequence of old gods would do the trick, but then, I'm a principled bastard like that.

Otherwise, I understand the desire to avoid being singled out for your beliefs, but I can only suggest that you look around, see what's there, in your own situation, and ask yourself what you stand to lose or gain by coming out of the atheist-closet. Only you can really decide whether or not to take that step, or whether you're even comfortable with it.

Right now, we don't really have enough information to give you an unqualified recommendation here. Obviously you'd have a lot of support here if you did, but if there's any danger of consequence I'd say just politely decline.

Yes, specifically Catholic Religion.

I have already analyzed my situation here considering it's pros and cons ever since I was still in highschool. And as a result, I am very anti-social here. I only tell the truth whenever I am asked by people if I trust them. Most of my relatives know it but only one of my sister, my girlfriend, some of my friends and my mother accept me of who I am.

Nobody's gonna hold it against you if you keep your atheism close to your chest in situations where hostility outweighs ambivalence. Even if you find it dishonest, that's down to the people around you and the way they act, not you. Just be careful: don't rock the boat in a way that'd damage your education.

Either way, good luck, and I hope it works out for you.

Thanks!. the Typhoon have killed at least 1400 people. I live in on of the island in Central Visayas which also near the Typhoon, but there is only below moderate damage in our city. I just slept through it cause I live in a 3 story building..

You could adlib the bible and mock them. Not enough to make it too obvious, but enough to let you chuckle.

Something like, "Oh Moses, hear my prayers! Fight for me as you fought against the fire breathing dragons of Asgoth! Strike down the Ice witches with your rod, and fly back to heaven on the backs of doves!"

Yeah I've been seeing the death toll rise and it's like O.O we never see anything like that in my region of America. You definitely survived a beast, even though you slept through it and it's nice to hear that your city got through it without overall severe damage, I know a lot of places did not hold out so well.

Don't forget to thank god for creating the typhoon
(he/she/it does control everything they say!)

I like this one.

CHAPLAIN: Let us praise God. O Lord,...

CONGREGATION: O Lord,...

CHAPLAIN: ...ooh, You are so big,...

CONGREGATION: ...ooh, You are so big,...

CHAPLAIN: ...so absolutely huge.

CONGREGATION: ...so absolutely huge.

CHAPLAIN: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell You.

CONGREGATION: Gosh, we're all really impressed down here, I can tell You.

CHAPLAIN: Forgive us, O Lord, for this, our dreadful toadying, and...

CONGREGATION: And barefaced flattery.

CHAPLAIN: But You are so strong and, well, just so super.

CONGREGATION: Fantastic.

HUMPHREY: Amen.

CONGREGATION: Amen.
