I'm atheist thanks to my dad. He didn't brainwash me into believing in loving fairy tales. This is a huge loving chain of brainwash. Religion in all. Don't give me stuff about big bang because i don't believe that either. The only thing i believe in is evolution, only because there is proof and it makes loving sense. Really, you say you don't believe in a fat guy delivering presents, but you believe that there is some old guy who has magic powers and has a magic tree.

please dont get offended even though you will ):

Just lock this stupid topic, I get tired of these threads getting nowhere and they only get people angry.

[Bisjac]

I'm fine with people believeing their own deitie(s).
I'm NOT fine when people try to shove it down my goddamn throat and force me to believe it
*cough*Atheists*cough*

Goes both ways, dude.

the difference is, atheist arent killing Christians like they did us.
in fact christian creed STILL demands the persecution of non believers. modern times didnt undo all that. unless your saying you no longer follow your god's will.
people dont forget the evils of the church just because its been awhile. nothing has actually changed.

You're actually just going to google it and find some passages with vague references to faraway places.

Look, if you define brainwashing as repeated exposure to a single source of consistent, biased information than you just got brainwashed too.

[Tom Gunn]

So you are Saying Athiests never persecuted the christians Bisjac?

This is not a religion war. I have my beliefs and you have yours. You don't like mine, you say? forget off.

I determined a while ago that I personally did not believe in God. I had a couple reasons to back myself up, however, I can't decide if it's a smart decision to let it be known to my family and those close to me.

I don't know if I should tell people or not. My dad's girlfriend is a Catholic and goes to church every Sunday and teaches CCD; my dad is a non-denominational Christian and really doesn't do anything to show his Christianity. I don't know what people would think of me; atheism is almost a joke at my school.

Should I confess it? Keep it to myself?

I'm going to a new school next year, should I just come right out with it if people ask?

I recently converted to atheism. Want to know what I did first?

I told my friend, that I have known for many years. Then I spread the word around my school. I am proud to have different beliefs then the crowd, you should be too.

Recently, right around easter actually, I told my dad, but have not told any other family members.

parents dont teach atheism. it would be just a lack of any spiritual teachings at all in that case.
genuinely all atheists decide themselves after personal research into big picture religion.

um

Again, you can't get brainwashed into not having a belief in something.

So you are Saying Athiests never persecuted the christians Bisjac?

Well, yes. Atheists don't demand the removal of rights / jailing / murder etc of religious people.

I actually burst out laughing when I read this.

You actually thought i was serious?
