[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Thank you for sharing. It sounds like it could create a lot of stress for kids if they didn't share those beliefs. Was that in the South?

Np here. I don't think it would cause stress. 
Just a fact of navigating it.

You're usually in the literal and figurative clubs. Or you're not. And everyone knows where you stand pretty much. And everyone knows if you are religious but being wayward anyway. [/quote]

What about the slut shaming the PP described? That would stress me out if it happened to me or even if I thought it could happen to me.  [/quote]

Eh - I'd rather go for the slut shaming than participate in that stupid trash. Bring on the slutting!

Geez. I grew up in DC and my mother dragged me to church every darned Sunday but i just couldn't get anything out of it. I'm a pretty moral and good person but I didnt like the sexism and hippocracy of the church (the meanest most self centered people go to church the most), didn't get anything out of praying, and I dont 'fear anything' including god. I don't understand people who go for all of this stuff verbatim. Not even 15 years of Catholic school could make me a robot - I'd much rather be known as a slut.

Don't get it. And yes we have religious relations in the south and they say ignorant off the wall things - it's really like they are in a cult.  [/quote]

Sounds  like you were a born atheist.  Just like some people are born susceptible to belief[/quote]

I'm not an athiest. Not fearing god doesn't mean I dont believe there isn't one. I dont think that any one religions 'god' is more valuable than another one's either though.
Though I don't know maybe I care so little for formal religion  maybe you could describe me that way - but I don't 'believe' in atheism enough for that label either.

I think we're back to 'slut'...[/quote]

There is no such thing as believing in atheism.  Atheism means absence of belief.[/quote]
