RE: Atheists that camed out of the closed
My dad threw a hissy fit. He took that far better than my other coming out, though.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

My immediate family know and don't care, same with my friends. I don't regret tellite them as it has no downsides.
The first revolt is against the supreme tyranny of theology, of the phantom of God. As long as we have a master in heaven, we will be slaves on earth.

The only good is knowledge and the only evil is ignorance.

Maybe, but I don't know if I should ever tell my parents or how should I tell them about my atheism. That's why I want to hear more from other experiences.

That depends on how high up in the Taliban your father is.
If they are going to disembowel you for coming out don't, if it means you get to stay home sundays, do it.
I'm British so no-one gives a crap what we believe as long as we stand in the right place in queues.



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

But they got over it and we don't talk about it specifically even though I'm pretty close with them.

Do they still hope against hope that you will regain your senses and become a priest ???

I think my mom does, though not a priest.

I don't think my dad gives a shit.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

I'm not sure I understand why people decide to become atheists. Do they wake up one morning and think "I don't like that Jesus bloke no more"?
Ain't it the same as waking up and thinking "I don't like Elvis any more"?
What triggers it?

Jesus, God, heaven, hell, all of it is fake.  
Created my men who wanted control over other men.
A good portion of them actually believe there own bullshit, which make it very odd.

Dislike has absolutely nothing to do with it.
How can i believe in something I know is not real?
