My mom knows but it's very recent. We're fueding about it. She won't let me celebrate christmas or any other holidays with her now. She wants me to stay away from her church & has been telling everyone.
My mother is extremely religious!My step father is kinda religious,all of my mothers family is very religious,My father isn't religious.Right now I'm slowly trying to tell them.Hopefully it will go well.I doubt it though.
Wow. I would say that in the mean time you should probably get some supportive internet friends until you sort things out. Some of my best friends, for that reason, are all round the planet from places like Norway, Finland, German, England and Scotl…
I'm Alina. I'm 17.
I'm a senior and I can't wait until high school is over with.
I have bipolar/borderline and ADD, which makes for an interesting life.
I'm finally figuring out who I am and what I want,
and I've finally stopped caring what people think.
That's from my MySpace, I don't really know what else to say. I hate describing myself, so if you're really interested in getting to know me... just talk to me? :P

I was reading some of your posts in the parents discussion, and it seems that you and I have a lot in common when it comes to parents. I am still in the closet to them because I want financial help with college (sounds horrible, I know, but I think that it is my best option. The only difference evident to me is that my parents are still together (which I think means double the oppresion).
Anyway, sorry for the rant. It was just really encouraging to see that someone else is going through what I am and suceeding. Thanks.
First, I can understand that you're looking to what you will do and be when you leave high school, but you should be enjoying your high school years. You're a very attractive girl, and the fact that you're an Atheist (which to me, qualifies your intellect), should make you even more confident in yourself.
I'm 66 and I've been an Atheist since I was about 13 years old. My kids are Atheists, and for them, I'm very proud of that.
And, it's good that you don't care that much as to what people might think of you; live your life as you want to, and you'll be surprised at how people will think of you.
Hey, how's it going?
Read your stuff on the Young Atheist board, good luck with your family, if/when you tell them about your lack of belief in sky daddy.
It is true that many people take the path of religion to lead them out of destructive life styles.
It is also true that people can do the same thing without a reliance on faith (you just don't hear about it as much).
You sound like a very nice you…
I thought it was utterly brilliant that he said Abbot's offer of a billion dollars for Hobart hospital was immoral!
His refusal of such a ridiculous bribe iis one of the first moral acts I've ever seen from a politician. Clearly the man will have a…
I've seen posts about the 50 commandments of jeebus put out by xtians that cite chapter and verse and you really don't need a commentary to go along with them.
Boy it sure does kill the whole GOP/Tea Party platform.
From the article Tommy cited.
"However, religious commentators have criticized Hawking's theorizing, saying he can never hope to explain what is essentially unexplainable."
Well doesn't that kind of invalidate their own "god" theory then? ;p
Anybody else read it? I love the basic premise, and being an atheist means I can appreciate the mythology and not get bent out of shape about the multiple deities.
Wyoming is better than the southeast, from what I've seen. It's still a solid red state, though. My big point was that there are no cities. The closest it has are Cheyenne and Casper, each of which are around 50,000 people.
The entire state barely…
I was in Panama City this past weekend, but I didn't have any free time. I was there for my brother-in-law's pinning. He was promoted to Major in the Air Force. The promotion ceremony was full of God and Jesus references, and the invocation was give…
I saw a video, or a blog post once that listed all the uncomfortable and illogical things that a person must do, according to Jesus' own words, in order to follow him. The list included hating your family, selling all your possessions, etc. I'm pret…
