Thanks Unum! I’m very glad to

Thanks Unum! I’m very glad to be here and have already met some awesome individuals. Everyone has been so welcoming and inviting. It’s amazing to finally have this in my life after 2 hard years of having basically no friends that think the same way as I do. Glad to be aboard

I know how you feel. I am

I know how you feel. I am also in a religious family in America, and I don’t know exactly how my parents would react to me coming out. If you absolutely must tell them, I’d highly suggest that you read this wikihow article:

Thanks for the suggestion! I

Thanks for the suggestion! I’ll get right on reading that and let you know what I think! Just out of curiosity, and forgive me if I’m prodding, but have you come out to any friends yet? Most of my friends are people from my church or have gone to church their whole lives. Again don’t feel like you have to answer, I don’t want to overstep my bounds here lol. Thanks again for the help! Hope all is well for you my friend

Fairly good article. I

Fairly good article. I personally hate the terms "Weak and Strong." But then I know many have an aversion to the badge of "Anti-theist" which I wear proudly depending on the discussion. When I take up a position against God to the Church, I am a proud and confident ANTI-THEST.

Thanks for all the responses

Thanks for all the responses everyone! I apologize for my delay in getting back to all of you. I just finished my last final exam of my school career so these last few weeks have been pretty stressful! Thank you all for being so welcoming and willing to help. It’s truly amazing to see the friendship and support around here. I will be going through and replying to everyone as soon as possible. Thanks again so much!!!
