"Hawk- You have to just let it go. My parents are similarly steadfast in their religious beliefs so I am not going to bang my head against their belief wall because I will be the only one with a headache. Just love them as your parents…"

I hope you are wrong about a person not being able to recover fully intellectually from a religious upbringing. I just recently (three years ago) became an atheist when I was 35 yrs. young and…"
Georgie Kiely commented on Georgie Kiely's blog post 'Now I'm Angry'"Kathyleen- Most of my co-workers know I am an atheist. They can't comprehend how I don't believe in a god, but overall they don't bug me about it. Once in a while, someone will make a comment about my disbelief but it…"
"Sometimes I am completely speechless when it comes to believers. I find it tiresome and annoying to have to explain my thoughts. When ever I encounter such insanity I just say, "What ever gets you through the day"! That usually throws them…"
James Cox commented on Georgie Kiely's blog post 'Now I'm Angry'"Sadly, I think I started out being 'mad at God'. But I do have to tell you that the theists did make it easy. After a while I realized that the 'angry/mad' part did not seem to have a target to drop that load onto. And the more I…"
Cara Coleen commented on Georgie Kiely's blog post 'Now I'm Angry'"As a former Christian, and as someone who's pretty familiar with the indoctrination thereof: Christians are taught that everyone knows in their heart there is a god and that "nonbelievers" are merely being rebellious, and inexplicably…"

I have a family member who has turned their life into a more positive and healthier direction in the past year. This person’s change in behavior coincided with their increased faith in god and overall commitment to the Christian belief system. During the same time period, I was going through a change (still am) in the opposite direction toward agnostic atheism and loss of faith. I had started to disclose my lack of belief in a divine…

I am finding something to be very annoying when I make it known to a believer that I am an atheist. The person will typically assume that I became an atheist due to me being angry with god or life.
