Atheism is NOT "just a phase"! -
11-23-2007, 02:52 PM
I am a 15 year old atheist, and I live in eastern North Carolina. I really don't care who knows that I am an atheist, in fact, it's pretty well known that I am not religious, but I still respect all religious beliefs. However, some people are certain that my atheism is just a phase. WHAT?! "It's okay, Neonova, even though you have turned away from Jesus he will still be there for you when you go back to him." Wth? I'm not going back. No offense to any Christians. That implies that I'm just going through a phase, and I am not.
Has anyone else dealt with this?

From everywhere; I just shut them up by telling them I'm half Satanist and half Atheist. And that's LaVeyan Satanism, if anyone wants to know. Some people don't seem to realise that respect goes both ways.

I know, I absolutely hate it when people tell me that Christ will always come back to me. I'm Wiccan and that's that. I don't care what you say or your own religious beliefs say, I have my own ways and they'll stay that way. Well, that's what I think, anyways.

when i was little because of the mix in my family (jewish baptist and catholics) I went to church 5 days a week for a long time which just left me being agnostic. I believe in god but don't commit to a religion or necessarily believe in the bible. Maybe god is the one who set up evolution. But anyways, I seriously hate religious people who push their beliefs and think it's the only way, and I seriously hate aetheists who think they're smarter than everyone else because they dont believe in god. Everyone has a right to their opinion. But well if people who believe in god are dumb you might want to go back in time and tell Einstein that (he was jewish). I try to stay out of religious debates. Because of my church experiences I know more about religions than almost anyone I know and all of it just confuses me, but aetheism is too solemn for my taste.

Solemn? Hardly. Atheism is the least serious, apart from Satanism, of all belief and non beliefs. XD My mother's Christian and my dad's Jewish; and we all get along very well. ^^ That's cuz we respect each other's views on religion.

Like it should be. Most of my teachers are Christian and whenever we end up on Religion, they almost always try to prove their point. Even my Science teacher who believes in God and NOT evolution. She only teaches us the evolution theory because she has to.

Ugh. I actually hate teachers who don't have any religious background. We were studying evolution last year, and my teacher (he's cursed, I swear. No one liked him, he wasn't hygenic...anywho...) taught the lesson as if it were the only way. I would believe 100% in it if there weren't missing links.
But I also hate science teachers who teach it wrong because they don't believe in it. I do believe in evolution, however, because organisms have to slowly become more advanced. Humans just don't pop up on Earth without any ancestors. I don't enjoy reading the Bible, either. If they made a teenage one "The Ten Rules" or something instead of "The Ten Commandments," I would probably read it. But I can't draw connections and make lessons out of it easily. I respect other views. That's a very important virtue in life. If you can't respect other's beliefs, no one will like you.
