Hello everyone, my name is Scott and i am a high school english teacher in sunny south florida. I grew up in a christian household for most of my life and as i learned more and more i eventually had a change of faith. My family now sees me as a god hating liberal and i find it difficult to express my views around anyone as i am frequently looked at with slanted eyes and questioned with loaded language such as "why don't you believe in anything?" I suppose I'm simply trying to reach out to a community that shares my interests and societal issues. Nice to meet you all

Welcome, Scott.

You won't have any difficulties in expression your views over here, at least.
But I hope that your family becomes more tolerant of you.

A lot of families do indeed suck. You are not alone in this by any stretch of the imagination.

Thank you for your support but rayaan i don't see them changing anytime soon. It wouldn't be so bad but i watch my little sister adhere to their policies and i can see them twisting her to view me differently. So yes, cinjin, families suck Smile

Lots of xtian families suck..... it comes from being born and raised as bigoted shits.

Hey there! 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
