Integrity's a bitch isn't it.

Integrity's a bitch isn't it.

Yes, because fucktards that believe bullshit such as you, can and will put that same bullshit in front of the care they should be giving their children. That is why your 'morals' are and always will be a sad mockery to the definition of the word. When people are forced to lie just for not believing something, it just shows what integrity means to religionists.

[ChildOfReason]

You know ChildofReason you can lie to people but, never to God, you might want to rethink what you're doing, things could get a lot worse than you might believe.

@Last, the real problem are Christophobes like you that cannot fathom the prospect that Christian parents could respond with gentleness and grace to their prodigal child. You only assume the worst because of your prejudice.

Even sweet mannered and gentle religious parents will respond harshly to their offspring not believing in their fictional deity.

The story of Abraham and Isaac teaches the faithful which comes first when the decision is between your child or your god.

You are incorrect, I am not a christophobe, I do like however, to keep fantasy in its place. As to graceful xtian parents, I know they exist. But I don't see you and the rest of your moderate graceful correligionists stepping up and call out those fundamentalists that make their children suffer just because they don't believe.

You are so blinded by your religion that you cannot see the great moral chasm in front of you, while claiming to be on a plateau of it.

To please your parents, declare to them La Ilaha Ilallah, Muhammed Wa' Rasoul Allah! There is no God but Allah and prophet Muhammed is the last and final messenger of Allah. Start your essay with:

Bisminlah Rahman Rahim,

Bla bla bla, there is no God but Allah, bla bla bla, Muhammed(pbuh) is the last and final messenger, and there were other messengers, Moses, Jesus, Jeremiah, all prophets of Allah, for Allah does not BEGET. Yamullet wallam yulat! He begets not nor is he begotten! There is nothing like him!

Alhamdulellah!

Then you submit essay LOL

[Neo-Scholastic]

I don't see you and the rest of your moderate graceful correligionists stepping up and call out those fundamentalists ...

Not many fundamentalists on AF and usually they don't last long enough to correct, which I have in fact had occasion to do, particularly with regards to their literalness, which I might add is all too common among atheists. And I am continually amazed by the patience of the other long-term Christian members.

You are so blinded by your religion...

And you by your bigotry against believers, e.g. "fucktards".

[Napoléon]

@OP just say that you see evidence of god everyday in your life and that he has helped you through decisions and other such shit. Pretty sure whatever you write they'll lap it up. Shame that you feel as though you can't 'come out' to your folks. As for the imbecile theists offering their views, makes me fucking laugh that they can even speak on this subject when so many people live in fear of being ostracised just for not believing. Regardless of whether you think your religion is right or wrong, at least have some empathy with the fact this guy can't be truthful in this situation. I'm sure if there was a god he'd understand the reasons and judge accordingly, but as for you fuckers it's not your place.
