:hi: :hi: or so says my BF. Also, I "hate anyone that believes". Well can't say they don't annoy the fuck out of me these days. But, I am starting to feel pressure from him about my lack of belief. According to him I'm supposed to be an agnostic. And calling myself an agnostic atheist is just semantics. It is really starting to frustrate me. We keep getting into these serious arguments about lacking belief. And how saying I don't believe in god is generalizing. I know I have said this here before but it is really starting to bother me. And I am not so sure how to deal with this. This coming from someone that sent his Knights of Columbus catholic father an ad for discounted "bags of jesus"(it was an online sale of the host for communion)Any advise on how to deal with this treatment of my lack of belief. I don't think he sees the difference in the statements "I don't believe in god" and " I believe there is no god" I guess I just needed to come here to whine a bit. Not to mention my sister, who thinks I am an evil heathen that is going to burn in hell. And that "if I want to think I was created as an amoeba and changed into an animal" then that is fine, but it will lead me to hell. Or my former best friend that told me she felt as though she "failed me as a friend, because I am going to hell" and that she "didn't believe in dinosaurs anymore" Oh and don't forget the coworker that wanted to put a rosary on my desk when I told her I was going to a Marilyn Manson concert. And this is in NJ, not the bible belt. And then watching the Miss America women being asked about evolution, that was just a breaking point for me. It makes me want to scream! :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Ok I'm, done. Sorry for such ramblings, I know I am not a good writer, but sometimes I just NEED to get these thoughts out. And I feel safe and comfortable to do it here. Thanks.
