I'm Angry At Myself For Having Believed In God Before by Nobody: 6:02pm On Nov 22, 2016
Words can't tell how angry I am right now for haven believed in God , I'm mad at myself for believing a lie for almost two decades till this year.
Right now I want a sane environment! I'm fvcking looking for the slightest chance to tell my parents who Clinton is. I'm a teen and that's going to be hard because they have become more religious recently.
I'm getting mad! No one to share my feelings with! I'm hiding it!
I don't want to die with depression and loneliness! I need a sane place!
To all those evangelists out there TFU!

So you are a Teen and you are angry and your anger is at who?

1. Your parents?

2. Your parents for becoming more religious lately

3. For believing in God for almost 2 decades

You only have one diagnosis and that is emotional tantrum and chronic depression. Atheism tends to lead one to loneliness and depression and isnt the fault of your parents, neither is it Gods fault.

Its a choice you made. You chose loneliness and depression when you chose Atheism so be a man, suck it up and enjoy or endure it. You cannot keep painting a wall with black paint and expect it to become a white wall. You choose what you become so get with the program.

Or

You can be like your Parents and enjoy warmth and affection and communion as a family thereby eschewing depression. Ultimately the choice is yours. If you wish to be angry at God for another 200yrs how would that affect God? Can you punch Him? Can you spit on Him? Can you shoot Him?

He is way beyond your reach and you would only end up hurting yourself and become suicidal. I could be your friend if you like. Even though i know you dread and detest me but i am still open to being your friend.

Surrounding yourself with so much anger and bile isnt even medically advisable and is spiritually destructive. What do you say?

Listen...We create our world and unmake them. You cannot have a sane environment without first wanting to be sane yourself. Its like taking a wild animal into an organized house and setting it free...You can imagine the chaos..However when you make a conscious effort to first train and condition the animal to the environment then it would help keep it sane.

You need to first organise yourself internally which was why i said what i said in my first comment. I am offering friendship. At least let me see if i can help bring some sanity into your environment. A listening ear, an idea sharer etc

Being angry at yourself is normal and you are not the first who has been but making a choice to do something about it is the crux of the matter.

Can we be friends?

Ah a teen ?

Atheism is a transitive state in individuals especially teens , so you'll get over it when you are exposed to knowledge or other worldviews when you get older . You know too little to reject the existence of God .

No one knows about me being an Atheist, the stuff is that am 24/7 7/7 30/7 alone. I hardly interact with anybody.
I don't see atheism as the cause because I have always been lonely. Atheism added it's part recently but that's not the main cause. The main cause is that no one shares the same views with me social wise and others.

Aaaaah those teenage years
Lol
I started questioning my beliefs at 17
I told my parents I was an athiest
They were shocked anyway but that didn't make then withdraw from me or anything
They always say they pray for me and all that religpud stuff
I'm in my mid twenties now
You should open up to your parents
You don't have to be lonely shoo
my religious friends know my views towards religion
Same with my parents(I think they didn't take it so bad cuz I was doing well in school)
Hope your grades are cool
Even if you don't want to tell your parents yet I'm sure you have close friends you can share with
You don't have to be lonely
Atheism or Agnostism shouldn't make you lonely

I don't respond to feelings , I really don't know what it means to reach conclusions based on feelings as an INTP - this is my personality type .

I reach conclusions based on logic and rational observation .

Saying "deep down" means based on feelings which apparently I can't relate to .

So through logic and rational observation , God exists .

Listen kid it would be too easy to ask you to unburden your heart or to ask you to share what your views are that people do not share with you ....but that would not be the solution. Just listening to you without fixing the deeper problem would not make the surface problem go away. So i will not ask you to tell me what the real issues are here but would rather opt to make it a bit more personal....yeah thats how nice i can be.

Can we take this out of this place? I have an identity i never hide as i see no reason for that so do not pretend. I would understand if you refused to take this talk out of this place but hey what have you got to loose?

This thread has got 68 views already and of these 68 people who have viewed i seem to be the only one genuinely offering transparent friendship and help.

Wanna give it a shot?

I disagree with this

when it comes to coming out as an atheist, there's no glove-fits-all

some parents can be CRAZY!! (I'm not implying CeoMYN's parents are crazy) some parents are so extremely religious that you dare not imply you've chosen atheism even if you have good grades or whatnot

some parents even kill or stop supporting you (financially etc) if you dare tell them you're an atheist

Re: I'm Angry At Myself For Having Believed In God Before by skeendyke: 7:47pm On Nov 22, 2016
What lies? Get this fact, God will always reveal Himself and make Himself real to that person who is truly and sincerely searching for Him but He will always remain hidden to the science researchers of His existence, to those who never take a step to draw nearer to Him, to those who were and are never sincere in seeking Him, to those who have made up their minds that He does not exist, to the impatient who think God will reveal Himself at their command. You definitely fall under one of these categories of people.

You say you have believed a lie for almost two decades. Well, if there ever was a lie so evil then it is the one which you've bought into that God does not exist.

As oga hard mirror explained in the pastor to atheist thread, the common tactics used by xtians when faced with non believers is to condescend to them., to make them feel like they no nothing about life.

A very common psychological tactic

care to share your social views?
The real thing is that my environment, my town is insane.
Not only socially.
I don't really know how to put them, I just got contrasting views with people. They are still in the old ways.
My head isn't clear right now.
The main thing I stand for is doing the right thing but the orientation is bad in this part of the country.
Let me just give you examples of those contrasting views.
1. Cultists were killing people freely in my town. Everyone was like the government should grant them amnesty, but I wanted the army to crush them so that those boys will stop carrying their shoulders high.
2. I believe in the military way of doing the right thing. Making sure it's done even by force but here they don't care if you are behaving bad until it affects them.
3. My town is filled with people who have been bought by the lies of the our stupid reps, but I wish they could gain sense.

All these I'm afraid to tell because I fear for my life. It's point and kill over here.

4. I'm wish we can work together and make our town a better place but everyone is selfish.

Atheism just made it worse, you know why?
It's because of my parents they are strict and very religious of lately, my elder bro and sis too. They are going to change their views about me.
