Better to be an Atheist than believe in those scam called Christianity and Islam. Be rest assured that you re of the very few reasonable people who have refused to believe that men from the Middle-East re re Prophets to Africans #OutrightFoolishness. Believing a man in the middle east died for your sins in Africa Simple colonization tool 18 Likes 7 Shares |

Op if you're gonna be an atheist, how about you relocate to the forest and wait for whatever you believe in to actually feed, clothe and accommodate you? I mean if you're gonna be in your parents house, you gotta live by their rules. Duh?! 2 Likes |

Since you are under their umbrella, just be careful with them. Perhaps when you gain freedom maybe while in the higher institution continue with your choice of life after all what matters in life is morality and religion is not morality in totality.

You're an atheist and your batshit insane parents don't seem willing to accept your beliefs. In general, there can be a lot of tension between kids and their parents, and I know for sure it doesn't help when you disagree on something with as much gravity as religion. But parents are important people in your life whether you agree with them or not, and I hate to say it, but they still control pretty much everything you do. Right there, I know, you want to rebel and do something to prove me wrong. My first piece of advice is don't do anything stupid out of anger. Don't go getting drunk or high just because your parents are ignorant, you'll only hurt yourself. Do you really want to give them the ability to sway your emotions like that? It's really more rebellious to just brush it off. Don't let them affect you in negative ways. Now, at some point, you're going to have to approach your parents if you want to be accepted by them. So, let's talk about that inevitable meeting. STAY CALM. No, really, no matter what they say or do or whatever shit they spout, stay calm. Do not lose your temper. This is very important for many reasons--mainly, it will make you seem less childlike. Also, if you can truly avoid anger, you'll be able to speak more rationally and your points will be clear and accessible. Anger clouds your judgement and you'll likely say something you regret or something that'll screw up your relationship with your parents. That's the last thing you want. No matter how your parents treat you, it's important to keep at least a decent relationship. After all, they're still important. You see them every day, probably. You're forced to be around them. It's so much easier to bear if you and your parents get along. So, whatever you do, try to be the bigger person. Try to be the one that's accepting, try to love them, even if the feelings aren't returned yet. Chances are, if you can show your parents that you can love them and appreciate them despite your differences, they'll see that they can love you too. However, if things go wrong and your parents simply will not accept you, just remember that once you hit 18, you can get out of there. You can drop communication with your parents forever, if you want (although I don't advise this at all--please try to remain on good terms with your parents, you will most definitely regret it if you're the one who destroys your relationship). Most of you are probably in your teens, so it's really not that long of a wait. Just stay strong, and if it's really bad at home, seek refuge at a friend's house. Also remember that this page (and others) are always here and you can contact us at any time. We're eager to help you get through whatever shit happens. (I've left my own email address below if you want to talk with me personally). Now, down the road, if you left home with a bad relationship, be willing to forgive. If your parents try to patch things up, be open and warm. However, let them know that you don't want a relationship if they can't accept who you are. In time they may accept you, or they may not. Just don't hold a grudge. Let's move on to those of you with friends or coworkers who don't accept you. Luckily, you can choose your own friends, so if they really won't come around, then you're not obligated to be their friend. Although if you want to make a friendship work, you're going to have to approach the person. The same advice as above holds true here: stay calm. In situations like these, avoid discussing the religion itself or god. Leave the theology out of it. Simply let them know if they don't accept your personal beliefs, you don't want to hang around with them anymore. However, remember to be accepting yourself. If your friend is religious and you're not, don't mock them and don't try to disprove god at every turn. If theology is something you can't talk about without arguing, just don't talk about it at all. Agree to disagree and move on. If you have a religious coworker who constantly bothers you about religion (or anything, really) often you can talk to your boss and they can talk to the other person. Things become tricky if your boss is the religious one--you could try to talk to his boss, and so on. If that doesn't work, again, you'll have to approach the person. Tell them not to bother you about it. If you can, just talk about work. Don't get angry, ever. Ignore their taunts. Focus on getting work done and hopefully they'll follow your lead. No matter who you have to deal with, remember to be calm and accepting. Set an example for the other person and be willing to forgive. gjaa73@gmail.com 7 Likes |

You should understand thier pain its not thier fault, lemme give you an idea of how they feel, its like your only son whom you're expecting grand kids from deciding to become gay or celibate, without taking into consideration how his choice will affect you, in as much as its your choice you should not be selfish and think of how your decision will affect others. |

anonym0us:When will you people realise that you don't have to belong to any religion before you believe in God? That you don't feel inclined towards any religion does not mean you are an atheist. Like I told someone that brought his problem here about being an atheist or not, you guys should learn to keep your issues to yourself please. Nobody can decide or help you in matters like this. Your same mind that didn't feel inclined towards any religion should be able to help you in this matter. It does not concern us! 3 Likes |

What's wrong with all these idiƶts claiming to be atheists? You don't believe in God, yet you can't do without coming to religion section, life must have been difficult for you? You are trying to convince yourself that there's no God, but deep inside you know we are all under a powerful upper hand, you're obsessed with both Christianity and Islam, you abuse people that pay their offerings and tithes, you call them names... Nobody is asking you to believe in God but spewing rubbish in a religion section is a shameful act. Thank you. 2 Likes 1 Share |

They are probably treating you bad because they want you to turn back from the crooked road and walk on the straight path.. why would anyone be an atheist in the first place when it is a glaring fact that God exists.. besides it is better to live believing there is God and die realising there 'isn't' than to live believing there is none and die to find out there is!. I advice you go on thorough research as your hereafter depends on it. Ignorance is not an excuse before God. 2 Likes |
