How about girls that have the same wig on their head for over three months. I tell you, the smell is a record-breaker.

when i first realised that God is inexistent in the general sense, i went about poking it in everyone's face. I thought i was part of an elite squad 
fact of the matter is atheists are a dime a dozen these days, so your parents probably wont persecute you too much, but neither will they respect you so much.
But play along, and you would have shown them some respect. Life's after all, for the most part, just acting
which would you prefer, young turk?

Just pretend you're a Christian until you graduate.  Apologize for not going and promise to go next week.  Since they don't live close pretending for a few years won't be hard at all.  Go to church on sunday.

Under no circumstances should you make the mistake of telling them you don't believe; they will mess up your life and education with their efforts to force you to "return to God".  Just tell them you're sorry and do your best to make them feel you're now on the "right track".  Good luck.

I am currently a college student in the US and my parents, especially my dad, have been really paranoid, afraid something would ‘destroy my life’ here.

Whenever we speak on phone, all they ever want to know is how much I read my bible and pray. I don't believe in God, but I usually go to church with my cousin to ‘socialize’; one day she wasn’t around to take me, so I stayed home. When my dad called that day and I told him I didn’t go to church, he flipped his lid, scolding me for being able to make my way to school but not to church (to think that before I left Nigeria, he told me the ONLY reason I was going to the states was to study). He afterwards threatened to bring me back to Nigeria (he still does almost every time we speak).

The thing is even while I was in Nigeria, I had a girlfriend whom I constantly made out with (in other words, I was a ‘sinner’); my dad knew about it, but never talked about it to me. Why is it now so much of a bother to them if I do or don’t believe in God or act like I do?

Anyways, whenever we talk on the phone, they deem it necessary to give me thirty minute sermons and I just want to scream at them telling them to leave me the bleep alone. I'm very bad at pretending and that kind of talk drives me real close to insanity.

I feel if I tell them I don’t believe in God, they would stop preaching to me and criticizing every single thing I do and spend more time praying for me. On the other hand, my dad might actually fulfill his threat and bring me back to Nigeria to study (like it would make any difference to what I believe or choose not to believe in). So now I’m wondering should I tell them or not?

P.S. I'm just 18, if that makes any difference.
