Maria Anna Rivers commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"I'm sorry they are giving you such a hard time, I now realize how lucky I was to grow up with a family that wasn't very religious. And I agree with what others have already said, tell them like you told us, that you are still the same…"
Cara Coleen commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"Be careful who you tell, Vrinelly. Many people on this site live in the USA & don't realize where you live. I know it's not really safe to "come out" in Ecuador. It's awesome you want to be true to yourself, but be sure…"
Vrinelly commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"i was just thinking about how easier it would all be if i was capable of "believing", but even before, when i did believed, i knew there was something strange about it all, i wanted to believe so bad! but i just couldnt. I tried…"
"just to repeat those that say its easy to come out never had anything to lose an thay that say your not a true atheist are ignorant i feel i had say that becuase there are atheist that are as bad as the religulous acting like…"
Rocky Oliver (LotusGeek) commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"Hey Vinelly,
I want to respond to your latest response, and the things you mention in it. I think the easiest way is to break your response down, and respond to each point in context. Here we go...
We're all here, in this discussion, because…"
Dale Headley commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'" First of all, it seems to me that if you are even contemplating accepting a religious paradigm in order to make your social life run smoother, you are not a true atheist. A genuine atheist is not so by choice; he/she is…"
UnTarded commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"Not to be an asshole, but....ok I'm an asshole. Sometimes you just have to put s chip on your shoulder. Take shit from no one."
Demian Weigle commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"I'm thoughtful and quiescent after reading your post and the answer here. Your post, I believe, has opened up a lot of memories for all of us. You are definitely not alone. The only story I will add is that my wife is also a…"
Brian Back commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"We just came out from a situation we thought it was best to "lay low" in. We didn't want to offend people or hurt feelings, family and otherwise. In the end we were forced out of the closet. I think it's best to…"
Robert Karp commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"I agree with what the archaeopteryx said. We all have friends who are theists and although we don't agree with their beliefs, or even respect their beliefs, we still can accept and love the person.
In terms of you "going back to god".…"
archaeopteryx commented on Vrinelly's blog post 'Scarred'"Vrinelly,
I was very moved by what you said (above), and that's when it dawned on me - have you ever considered taking each of those aside (friends, family) whom you care about, and telling them exactly what you told us. It was honest, sincere…"

- i have 4 of the 7 sacraments of the catholic church, i used to be active in the church "community", one day a thought got into my head, that all the things that i was doing there, i was doing them because someone told me to do them, since going to church is considered something "good" , i thought that i was doing right! that "god" had a "plan" for me, but then it hit me! if god had a plan for me since i was a little girl, why the hell was i trying so hard to be accepted by this "community" that wants me to be something, or someone, im not? then i started reading, and i realized that if there was a God he should love you just the way you are and not try to make you what he "wants" you to be, my mother always told me to be myself, "dont follow peer pressure" she used to say, now she begs me to follow it, because to me, religion is just like peer pressure! it makes you do things you really dont wanna do, but you still do it, because everyone else is doing it...

Im scared to tell anyone im an atheist... Its really hard for me to talk to my family about how much i've changed. My friends have stopped being my friends since i opened my eyes and saw that blind faith for what it really is, a lie. Im angry at everyone who talks to me about religion because everyone is alloud to talk about how good jesus love is and things like that, but when i talk about how jesus love is not real for me i get rejected. I know i shouldnt worry that much about what people…

first of all, im new at this, i have never worked a blog before so, i really dont know how this works, sorry in advance.
i have some trouble trying to help people understand my reasons for being an atheist, i try and try to explain it with scientific facts, books, writers, just to let them know that its not a whim or an intempt to be different as i've been told many times! but people dont even try to comprehend, its not easy to be an atheist when everyone else thinks you are joking!…

T A A said… Well Canada is a highly moralistic place, it came about from the rejects-loyalists of USA revolution to give themselves a country, whereas loyalists preferred the monarchy. People may be free to talk of anything, but in reality, our lifestyle is quite constrained, right clothing, right speech, right size/weight, right job, right boyfriend, etc. In those regards, the USA is a more open place. My ideal lifestyle would be to live in 4-5 countries on a yearly basis. A waterfront teensy house near the beach in Barcelonetta would be sweet, with occasional visits to the Arecibo observatory, but not year-long of course :)
Plaza de las Americas (giggles) hadn't heard that in a while... I really liked the outlet shopping West of San Juan tho... But if ever you're visiting Canada and want to come all the way north, drop me a line :) Have you visited the mapping tool available on the site?

Hola Boriqua!
I lived in San Juan for 6 months in 2003, listened to Ivy Queen, and hung out at the arts cinema in Downtown San Juan. Sometimes I'd head out of town to catch movies in other theatres as well. It was a crazy 6 months, the dock boys were insane. Once Puerto Ricans have had long enough exposure to consumerism and endless shopping malls, I'm sure atheism will be the next big step :) I love the entire Northern coastline, boy if I was a USA citizen I'd be buying property there ! (If I had money ;) Welcome to the club :)
