Comments for We Are Atheism http://www.weareatheism.com It's OK to be an Atheist Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:11:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 Comment on 10.5 Tips for Coming Out by Sid http://www.weareatheism.com/resources/10-5-tips-for-coming-out/#comment-6804 Sid Wed, 19 Jun 2013 14:11:41 +0000 http://www.weareatheism.com/?page_id=1620#comment-6804 I struggle with this as well. Josh verbalized it very well. I don't want my family, who are all Christians, to anguish over the damnation of my eternal soul. No one would wish such pain on their loved ones. I want them to know that I am an atheist because I think it will eventually help them to escape the clutches of religion and live a fuller life, but in the meantime my impending afterlife in hell will be a source of torment for them. I guess I can't have my cake and eat it too. I can't decide which is the greater good... to leave my family in peace and hide my atheist viewpoints, or to put them through the pain of knowing my religion viewpoints in the hopes that I can help them to see the truth. For now, I remain silent, but I am open with my family and I suspect some day it will just slip out. I struggle with this as well. Josh verbalized it very well.

]]> Comment on Sex and the Single-Atheist by Chrissy Newbury http://www.weareatheism.com/sex-and-the-single-atheist/#comment-6729 Chrissy Newbury Thu, 13 Jun 2013 12:49:54 +0000 http://www.weareatheism.com/?p=3308#comment-6729 Dan is a great friend of mine - in many ways - and I have heard these true stories before. But I still find them poignant and heart-rending, having had one such relationship myself many years ago. Fortunately, I did not marry the guy in question (who was the son of a Baptist minister) even though he did de-flower me on the red carpet in front of the alter in their church). I always admire Dan's writing style, finding it very readable, with just a hint of humour, and inevitably, good advice and good logic. Well done, my friend, for another riveting blog.
