Hello all. I'm a college grad and a former missionary who once was quite convinced God was real and was helping me. After I got back, as I thought about what I really believed and what I'd…Continue

Physeter replied to Physeter's discussion 'Adult children breaking free from parents...without smashing relationship'"Ug, yes...but it's hard to communicate clearly, especially when he's pretty clear that what he wants and what I want don't quite line up."
Physeter replied to Physeter's discussion 'Adult children breaking free from parents...without smashing relationship'"Thanks you guys. I feel so stupid after I post here sometimes. I read what I wrote up there (while I was angry) and of course I overexaggerated it. But your advice is still helpful, and that link about dealing with controlling parents is good too."
Physeter replied to Ethan Meleen's discussion 'Telling my Parents'"I'd reply, but I don't have much to say. I'm older than "confirmation classes" age, but I still haven't figured out how to tell my parents yet, and I haven't yet hit a situation like you where I feel like I have…"
Sagacious Hawk replied to Physeter's discussion 'Adult children breaking free from parents...without smashing relationship'"You'll have your independence when you assert your independence. You can approach this two ways: trying to figure out why he's doing it and come to some sort of agreement or just tell him how it's going to be because you're an…"

Can you write a typical dialogue of how the conversation between you and your dad would go?

"
Your dad sounds out of touch and very traditional. Getting married might make him let you go but imagine if he was like that around your spouse.
Do your parents use technology - the internet?
Because there are a lot…"
Belle Rose replied to Physeter's discussion 'Adult children breaking free from parents...without smashing relationship'"Hey physeter! I think you should communicate clearly to him what you want. As Christians (or on yours and my case, former Christians) we are never taught that setting limits for people is OK. We are taught to respect authority and obey. It may not…"

How many of you are young adults, age 21-30? How many of you now have or once had a good relationship with your parents? How much freedom do you have from them?And how did you get that freedom? And if your parents cling on too much, how do you break free?I live in an apartment about 20 minutes from my parents, and support myself with a full-time job. I lived with my parents for about 2 years prior to this, and for some of that time I had a full-time job.My Dad expects to know where I am and…See More

Physeter replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'Domestic Violence Solutions...' in the group Women of Think Atheist"So how do you convince someone their relationship looks abusive?

Why I am an atheist
Posted on April 2, 2013 at 7:30pm 14 Comments 1 Like
I am not an atheist. Or at least, not yet. I’m not sure. I am growing, and trying to learn about what is true.
I am a recent college grad. I studied physics and minored in writing. I spent some time in 2010 on a mission trip to a remote village in Africa, in part because I wanted to strengthen my faith, and it seemed to work at first.

I made my first post to an atheist website here a couple weeks ago, and it scared me.
I got a great, encouraging response. But it also made my potential atheism really real to me. For a long time I've been thinking atheist, but acting Christian. Saying out loud, even anonymously, that I don't believe in god is kind of a big step.
Reading other people's blogs and forum posts has been very helpful for me, but not as meaningful as speaking my own mind.
