Atheists: I’ve Got A Serious Problem With You And Want You To Answer Me.?


Alright, so the title is just a joke. It is true and I do have a serious and problem and want you to answer me but I thought maybe it would filter out the silly little creationists and the atheists.
Just in case you didn’t know, I’m an atheist. Just to make it clear.
I’m rather new to atheism. I used to believe in God but I decided it was obsolete and didn’t make sense. Now, it seems that my mother cries all the time about the fact that I’m apparently “going to hell.” My friends don’t like the idea of it and I have no atheist friends that I can relate with. I live in North Carolina and there is a very big Christian influence and I have to deal with my best friend telling me all the time,”You know being an atheist doesn’t make sense right? I mean, it is just stupid. You just want to do what you want to do and not want to be wrong.” He told me that over the phone today while my mother screamed at me and told me simultaneously,”You are going to hell and you know that the Bible is the only truth and the only way. I don’t care what you say. You will be a Christian again and believe the RIGHT way.”
I was so embarrassed and didn’t know how to handle it so I said,”Just because you believe what you’re told from some dusty book and the idea of hell was probably borrowed from other cultures considering others having the same idea and you just can’t face the fact of dying and no after-life.” She said to that,”No, they borrowed the idea from us.” I told her,”Mama, you are a woman of European descent and you aren’t even affiliated with the ancient Jewish people other than copying their beliefs in a remote way. They didn’t borrow nothing from you.”
I hear stuff like this daily. How do I stop having to hear how I am going to die in hell and that Jesus loves me all at the same time? I cannot stand having to hear it. What do I do? My mother made me go to church last Sunday and it is just driving me crazy. Please, I need advice. Thanks for your time.

Teacher Is Making My Daughter Pray In School!?


I’m atheist. My three-year-old daughter goes to a secular private preschool. All of the school’s documents say that the school is not religiously affiliated, and I made sure that the teacher understood we were atheist before I sent her to that school.
Today, my daughter sat down and recited a Christian blessing over her lunch. I asked her where she learned it, and she told me in no uncertain terms that her teacher has them “say the blessing” before eating. I asked her several times for clarification: is she the only one praying? Does she tell you to pray, too? Does this happen every day? And she made it very clear that this is a daily thing.
I’m absolutely livid. I paid $3,000 for a semester’s tuition at this school (that’s a third of my income) with the understanding that this stuff wouldn’t be happening there! Other than talking to the supervisors, would it be reasonable to request a refund, since the teacher misrepresented the school’s curriculum? If I’m not getting what I paid for, I want my money back!
Add to this that my daughter hasn’t learned ANYTHING since she started in school a semester ago, when it’s supposed to be the best pre-K education in the county… and I’m MAD! >:U

Christians Why Do You Give God Credit For Things Other People Give You?


I am not atheist nor am i theist i am not affiliated with any religion whatsoever but it pisses me off when some christian comes and gives credit to god for any favor done for them by another person recently my

Have The Atheist Fundies Lost Their Minds Or Just Forgot Who The Christians Are?


American Atheist Leader Calls for the ‘Eradication’ of ‘Christians’?
Al Stefanelli (Could be a Westboro alumni) is the Georgia State Director for American Atheists, Inc., and has he called for “murdering” of people for what they believe?
Is this not a “Hate Speech”? Are atheists showing their true hate and racism? Comments from FOX affiliates and The Blaze. Over The Atheist Fundie Leaders Comments
Did they OD on stupid pills… Eradicate Christians? Meet the christians! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sWS-FoXbj…
Good luck with that.
Update: The American Atheist Inc. Leader has “Stepped down” 🙂 as President of AA Inc.(Not to be confused with Alcoholics Anonymous Inc.) Probably had nothing to do with the FBI investigation of death threats. The Fundie Prez said “He did not intend to eradicate any living people” What? IDK maybe they were going to knock over a few Christian headstones and call it halloween 🙂 Or Dig a few up and mix up the bones.
As an agnostic IDK and can’t call the man a liar or the village atheist fundie. But “American Atheist Inc.” does anagram to “Anarchic anti-semite” Probably just a coincidence like “An Atheist” anagrams to “I the Satan” … Or God to Dog (Man’s best friend)

I Believe In “god”, But I Don’t. Is There A Name For People With This View?


Like I don’t attend church or read the bible or anything and I’m wary of the current understanding of god (i.e. a singular omniscient being ). I feel like if there is a god, its beyond human understanding of it. However when good things happen to me I tend to say thank you to I don’t know who or what out loud. I believe in karma and many principals that are considered religious, although I think they are more universal. But I don’t affiliate myself with any particular religion and don’t believe in organized religion (for me personally, that is). Is there a name for that sort of “religious” view?
I should note I was not raised religious, though my extended family is baptist and I went to Catholic school for 12 years. My mom is religious, but unaffiliated and my dad is an atheist.
