God **** It! (pardon the pun)

[KrIsP!]

Ah ok cool thanks. Its weird because for some reason the first letter of everything is capatilized, even though thats not how my post is.

Some computers do that, I've seen it before. It wasn't him doing it manually or consciously at all.

Be careful and try not to be seen as manipulating the minds of others. Children will generally tell anything they here so even if they believe you, you can get in major trouble.

That'd be a bad way to let the truth slip. Just tell your parents you have strong personal beliefs on why it isn't correct and hopefully since they made the leap of faith to believe Christianity they will believe something similar so you don't believe it.

Publishers Notice: Do not do the above. It will likely get you in a lot of trouble and excommunicated or manditorily force to go to a place of worship but would make a hilarious Youtube clip.

Question: why was Heartz not punished for blatant proselytizing, yet Alex was temp-banned for a very sound refutation of it?

 

[thanortinzak]

So...I've been thinking....
One day my parents might discover the truth (I'm atheist).
What should I do if they find out?

What the ****? That's not why he was banned.

 

[Ryusuta]

My mistake.

 

[thanortinzak]

So...has anyone's parents ever discovered they are atheist unintentionally?
If so, what did you do?

 

[GwJ]

Be wary. If you fake sick, your parents will expect you to stay sick, just keep that in mind.

This describes my summer very well...

Very Christian parents wanting their son (atheist thought to be christian) to help with vbs.

Even though I didnt want to go, I actually enjoyed the experience and did not teach against God, or for God either though. IMO you shouldn't share your views at such a young age, since they are probably constantly changing (and "wrong" lol).

Advice: Never tell your parents that you're an atheist, I thought mine would leave me alone, but now I go to every church event, ever. Now I pretend i'm christian again.

Okay, I'll take your advice.
But what do I do if they find out?!?!

Ooooooooor make you drink medicine for the sickness which may cause you to actually get sick. Don't be stupid, son.

 

[_Keno_]

How could they find out? Its just an idea in your head, just make sure you have no physical evidence.

If they do find out, just pretend you are just questioning and have recently taken "action" by reading some book of the bible recommended to you on some online forum. And say you are currently finding the light, or some ****.

 

[thanortinzak]

Oh okay. But what if they accidentally stumble upon physical evidence?
That seriously might happen.

 

[RyuReiatsu]

Oh okay. But what if they accidentally stumble upon physical evidence?
That seriously might happen.

Like what? A porn magazine?

 

[_Keno_]

>.< What physical evidence could you possibly have? Physical evidence with words arguing against Christianity, or for Atheism, is the only evidence I can think of...

Well, and if they know you are 3mmanuel on smashboards...

Can you give an example?

 

[thanortinzak]

Like, them finding out I have a facebook
And then seeing my religion is "Atheist"

 

[_Keno_]

That stuff is easily disposed of, and if you don't like people thinking you are christian, then take off the religion category (like me lol).

Also, do people know you are atheist? That can be physical evidence, but I suppose you can simply lie and deny that they are right. Just get rid of evidence.

 

[RyuReiatsu]

Like, them finding out I have a facebook

Take it off, not like it's important anyways. People could care less about it...

If you really want to keep it, just tell your parents you were making a joke with your friends or something. It happens often, just like my bro that changed his gender into female.

 

[thanortinzak]

heh, sure.

But what if I blow it? Like, I have a feeling, I'm gonna have an outburst one day.
I mean, it's hard keeping my feelings inside.
If I have an outburst, what should I do?

 

[_Keno_]

heh, sure.

Meh, I just use forums (not gaming ones, obviously) to talk to people when I'm feeling down, angry, confused, or need help. At least it helps me, most of the time.

I'm off for the night btw.

 

[thanortinzak]

I'm gonna try faking sick again.

Anyone got any better ideas (better than the stomachache of course)

 

[GwJ]

Make yourself puke.

 

[Grey Belnades]

You could (and I used this so I couldn't go to church) is fake going to the bathroom alot, just keep going there every 15 minutes and your parents will notice, tell them that you have a stomach problem such as bowel problems.

 

[P.C. Jona]

VBS?
camp mahanaim?
swan lake ny?
your spanish?
i was the drummer for the pastors convention last month?

 

[thanortinzak]

heh, i finally made my plan!
I'm gonna stay up ALL night.
That way, I'll look sick.
In fact, I might actually even get sick!

And yes, a few ppl know im atheist

 

[P.C. Jona]

are u gonna ignore my post

 

[Falconv1.0]

Better question, are you ever going to use the ****ing edit option. =D

 

[RyuReiatsu]

Good Question, indeed.

 

[Falconv1.0]

That was aimed at threemanuel in case anyone got confuzzled.

 

[Ryusuta]

I have to say... as a general rule, regardless of what your beliefs are, if you choose to hide them in order to make things easier, you are a coward.

 

[Falconv1.0]

Yes, because obviously we should say everything about our beliefs even if it puts us in a ****ty position for years to come when we could've just kept our mouth shut and told them to suck a **** later. RIIIIIIGHT.

 

[Teran]

No you're not, you're being smart.

"Yeah mum I'm gay"
"Gtfo my house. Here's some clothes and £10, I never want to see you again."

Also, I state my beliefs very often, but I usually get called a troll and an ******* by everyone.
It's cool though, because people's distaste towards me shows I'm doing it right.

 

[Ryusuta]

I didn't say that. Don't put words in my mouth.

No you're not, you're being smart.

"Gay" isn't a belief.

 

[Teran]

"Gay" isn't a belief.

Fair enough.

Have you heard of honour killings?
Some girl deserted religion in her household and told her parents. Her dad chopped her up and chucked her in a river.

Now, I'm not saying that happens often, but ya know, compromising yourself for stating a belief is not the right thing to do, it's the dumb thing to do.

You knew what I meant, stop being obtuse.

 

[RyuReiatsu]

You don't know what it is until you're actually such a situation.

^ What Teran said.

 

[Falconv1.0]

You said you're being a coward by not stating your beliefs, how the **** did I get that wrong, oh I'm sorry if I was wrong when I said EVERYTHING, BUT I THINK YOU GET THE BLOODY POINT.

Like Teran said, stop being obtuse.

 

[Ryusuta]

Keeping quiet because you fear reprisal isn't the smart thing to do, it's the cowardly thing to do.

You don't know what it is until you're actually such a situation.

Well, I have been in this situation, and I do know. I'm very much in the position to make the call, thank you very much.

You said you're being a coward by not stating your beliefs, how the **** did I get that wrong, oh I'm sorry if I was wrong when I said EVERYTHING, BUT I THINK YOU GET THE BLOODY POINT.

There's a difference between going out of your way to rub your beliefs in people's faces when they're not relevant and being honest about what your beliefs are when you're asked directly.

If someone asks if you believe in God and you say "Yes," when you really don't, you're a liar and a coward. Rationalize it all you want, but those are the facts.

Just because you're not grasping the complexity of what I'm saying doesn't make ME obtuse.

Really?
So your parents were really ready to rip your head off?
Asian parents are that extreme. He could get a beating.

I have no other choice.

If you were in my situation, you'd think the same way too.
Anyways....
My plan (faking sick by staying up so I look really sick) is working fantastically right now).
I hope this works.
