Sometimes it's hard for me to shut up about my atheism

[Thumpalumpacus]

Can you find a job that let's you work instead of wasting your time in a fucking church?  Most parents approve of kids getting a job.  They think it builds character and it certainly accomplishes more than listening to some fucking holy joe yammer on about bullshit.

Not only would you get out of going to fucking church you'd end up with a few bucks in your pocket.  Win-Win.

We don't go to church every sunday, and I live in Romania, here is harder to get a job at my age, and I will enter the last year of high school, and I will take exams, so I won't have time for a job either. But thank you anyway.

..Kids don't have the luxury of just leaving.

If parents are the dickhead types, they don't deserve any respect and my advice to kids is- do your own thing..

You narcissistic presumptive asshole. That is a bullshit oversimplification. 

Die wouldn't be posting their fears here if they thought they could simply do what they want. When you are under age your parents hold the right to control you and your finances. Dont fucking be stupid and assume nothing bad will happen. 

Again, some kids do not have the luxury of accepting parents. If it were as simple as your ignorant statement in this post Die wouldn't be here asking for anyone's advice.

My advice is to stay low, save your money, and then when you get out on your own, then you don't have to worry as much what family think. Don't listen to Dropshit Die. Do what you need to do to survive.

Right, that's what I said!
Remember kids, Christianity has got your back, so do your own thing and don't let the old farts drag you down..

Terrible advice

My dad was an evil-minded little dick, he used to delight in sadistically trying to break my confidence all through my childhood, finding fault with everything I did. For examp whenever I brought a plastic model kit home he'd sneer- "Huh, been wasting your money again, when are you going to grow up?"
Haha perhaps he'd have preferred me running round with the local street gang getting in trouble with the police instead of sitting quietly up in my room building models..
When he died of cancer 35 years ago I thought "Good riddance you little bastard!"  and never bothered going to his funeral.
I still build models, I've got my eye on a neat 'Harlech Castle' down the model shop..

I'm sorry your dad was mean to you. Your advice is still terrible. I hope some poor kid doesn't get his ass beat for listening to you.

Well if parents beat their kids it proves  they're lousy parents!
My old man once kicked me like a dog for the heinous crime of throwing some orange peel down the toilet and it wouldn't flush, you couldn't make it up..

Yea and so the fuck what. My dad was a dick to me too. This doesn't even have to be about religion. If I had rebelled against my parents as a teen or pre teen I would have been kicked out of the house and homeless. Your advice is fucking horrible. Not every kid has the means to simply leave. You cant even make it just about the parents. The neighborhoods and societies they live in matter as well not only their parents. 

If you think "one size fits all" in the context especially of a kid, you are a fucking idiot. Not everyone is you. Nobody is telling you to like your dad, but you are not in Die's situation so you need to refrain from oversimplifications of "just do it."

Die also lives in a more religious part of the world, not in America. Romania is far more conservative on average than the west. But even in America there are deeply red state parents even here, that if their kid came out, they would be kicked out on the streets with no means to survive.

No offence mate but are you one of them "philosopher" types who are always thinking that things are more complicated than they are?

The solution therefore seems simple enough, don't tell them you're an atheist!
If they somehow find out, that can't be helped, but how would they find out anyway?
You say you go to church with them, so just ride it out til you're old enough to leave home (you're already 18 so you're not exactly a kid), meanwhile look on the bright side, you might meet a nice christian boy in church..

As a matter of interest, why did you decide you don't want to be friends with God and Jesus any more?
They still want to be friends with you..
