Today my family celebrated easter, and I couldn't help but feel awkward. None of my family knows I'm an atheist, and It's killing me. I was so religous before, and then I realized it was all a lie, at least to me. I understand why people would beleive in God, and I don't attack them. Yet people think I worship the devil, because I don't follow God. NEWS FLASH: I don't follow anyone. Use common sence people and don't attack me because you don't know me.

I grew up going to a Catholic Primary (Elementary) School, and I just hated the idea of it all.
When I hit 12 I just didn't believe in any of it anymore.
I believe in Nature, what can be seen, and in my eyes no one "person" can control the world, it has to be something much greater than all of us.
I got that shtick before, people automatically assume that you worship the devil if you don't believe in god, but I feel that they are just scared to admit how they themselves really feel about it/him. -
I know how that is. I used ot be really Christian and then I realized what a load of crap it is. It's hard coming from a really religious family and having to celebrate the holidays associated with it when you don't believe in what everyone else does, especially if your grandfather is a retired preacher. Also, the attacks from other people hurt but eventually you get used to it or the people around you learn to back off.
