As an African-American woman, I am under tremendous pressure to be a devout Christian. I have lost many a loved one over my choice to be a non-believer. People are taken aback when I tell them I don’t believe in Jesus and his wonderful story. They are immediately taken aback. I absolutely adore the cute little look of pity I get after their initial reaction and then comes phase 3: lots of prayer and bible thumping for the poor lost heathen. As if they know something I don’t know. LMAO Such a nice, pretty, intelligent girl……. Too bad she’s going to Hell with gasoline drawers on.

Also I think I might get my kids to pray to me, I could use the encouragement.

In fact, it was your blog (specifically your deconversion posts) that helped lead me to the conclusion that I no longer believe in God as well (I come from a very strong LDS background as well). That was about 3 years ago (about the same time I moved to the valley), and I finally told my wife my beliefs about 4 months ago. While her reaction was expected, it went much better than I had imagined.
In any case, keep up the good work, and thanks!
]]>I will be praying for you!
Don’t forget: God loves you even though you deny him!!!
Remain blessed.
