What would happen if I became an atheist?

Im just not seeing a point in believing anymore.

…then don’t…

Im to scared to tell anyone about me not believing in a god anymore.

…then don’t…

Im scared their going to look at me differently. Im scared their not going to treat me the same.

…some will, some won’t… that’s life.

Im scared their going to push me away because they think im a devil worshiper.

Well, that would mean they’re idiots…

I dont believe in god. I dont believe in the devil.

…you’re not the first… and certainly not the last. Belief isn’t a choice. You can’t just CHOOSE to believe something that isn’t believable to you.

I dont even believe in living anymore.

Riiight… now you’re just being a drama queen.

Do you have any way I could explain this to my friends and family without them flipping a sht?*

…nope…

What would happen if I became an atheist? Really wanna know… Sure… Ready

notta, your life will continue until you die

What you believe or dont is up to you. Yeah, your family and friends may be upset a little but who you are and how you live your life is completely up to you and they will respect that. Before you make up your mind tho, really try to understand why this isnt working for you and be open and honsest with yourself and them (if you havent already). Whatever you do, do it from the heart and whatever you say, say it from the heart. Things always have a way of working out.

I belive that everyone’s heart is their own. I lost someone I loved very much, and felt the same way you do. Depending on your former religion, you may have been decived. I was Catholic and the priest told me my brother was going to burn in hell for killing himself. I tried to kill myself to join him… Then Jehovah’s Wittness came to my door. They didn’t tell me what to think. They showed me from the bible. You might find that God is not the uncaring person some think he is. Find a good copy of the Bible and find out about him for yourself. Never let anyone determine your life. Read 1 peter 5:7 it helped me a lot.

My guess is that if you tell people you don’t believe in God that some won’t like it and may push you away or become so annoying trying to “save” you that you won’t want to be around them any more. Some won’t care much. Some will probably even admire your atheism on some level.

All this said many people who don’t believe in God are closet atheists. Atheists who live in religious areas or have religious bosses tend to keep it to themselves.

Personally I neither hide nor advertise that I don’t believe in God. People usually find out when the subject comes up in conversation.

It is better to be hated for what you are than loved for what you are not.

Well if you become an atheist people may reject your, look differently at you, other people may accept you and say that you made a wise choice and a little later you may feel free and may enjoy that freedom and may even be glad that you may even be glad that you made such a choice. Those could be the things that will happen to you in this life.

But after this life you will land up in Hell for all eternity. I just have to be blunt here because many people do not think of the eternal implication of their decisions.

look up the term agnostic, atheism is the belief that god does not exist. you cannot say whether or not he does, in my opinion nobody can. an agnostic person such as myself believes that there is not enough factual evidence to support either side. I am not saying he doesn’t but I’m not saying he does, get it? you don’t have to pick one or the other! the most important thing is never to judge others for what they believe its just not right and also if you don’t judge them than they cant judge you. your response to anyone claiming to be Christian that talks down to you about your beliefs is simple. you just tell them that in the christian faith man is not supposed to judge man for ANYTHING! a true christian, one who follows their teachings believes only god can judge and that it is above a human to posses the rationality, intelligence and purity to judge another human. I hope this helps I am on here often if you need to talk, just fun mail me

You’re under no obligation to tell people what you believe, even if they ask. But, you might float a trial balloon. Do you know someone who is an open atheist? Start talking about that person to your friends/family and ask what they think about it.

How they respond will tell you what you can expect.

You don’t have to tell anyone that you are atheist. I certainly don’t go spreading around my beliefs, because it annoys people and religious people almost always get offended if you don’t believe what they believe in.

Religion is a personal choice and nothing will happen to you if you’re an atheist.

yes I must add that I as an agnostic person do in fact believe in living, there is a ton of scientific data that supports the fact that we are living beings.

It’s not really something you become. Either you believe or you dont. It’s not like a religion you need to convert to. As far as spiritual beliefs go, do whatever you want.

I do, however, want to point out that most atheists, agnostics etc believe in living. I mean, that’s not really a spiritual matter. I would consider talking to someone about that.

Why the need to proclaim your change of heart? Just be…

p

one more thing if you beleave in “love” then you already beleave in god. love is the most powerful thing there is ,and if you beleave in it then you already beleave in a god, and his name is “love”.

nothing you would just live till you die then you will go to a beautiful place for ever, that is the sum of all of us who live a good life style . if you are a ratacel and want to hrut all who you see and come in to contact with then there will be a different fate for you,there is a thing called karma,beleave it. james542009

Religion is better kept not talked about in my opinion. Its no ones business but your own in what you believe.

The not believing in living anymore comment seems like you may be depressed. You may want to talk to a doctor about that.

Well I’ve never believed my whole life, nobody has treated me differently. I mean you get the odd person who will tell you that you should believe, but it’s not up to them. It’s your choice what you chose to believe, you don’t want to live a lie.

I told my friends and they always make fun of me because im an atheist keep it to yourself

You don’t wan’t to know!.

What would happen if I became an atheist?

Nothing

Not to start anything but has anybody ever “seen” God? No nobody has, so its a matter of faith, and believing in something we don’t know if it exists or not, kinda like Santa, we believe all those presents come from Santa when in reality its our parents, but the point is we believe cause were told there’s a Santa, Were told our whole lives that there is a God, therefore if we have faith we believe there’s God

before you decide to beome an atheist, think about this: God never left you If you deny Him, He will deny you too. here’s an example, I almost made a wreck of myself when I started being unfaithful. but he gives me chances. and look at me now, my life is better than ever. So think about it, please.

ok ok ok…I have come to realize, atheism, isnt for me… I prayed to God once upon a time, after I went to church with my friend. The story a person told us, inspired me to go home and release all my problems to God. So I did…my life got better. Then, soon after I became a so called “atheist” and all heck broke loose. All I wanted to do was die, its like there was no point in living anymore…It took me a little bit to realize it, but there IS a God. ;)

A good friend of mine is an atheist and she is doing great, no bad luck, no suicidal tendencies, just a good life.

How can all you people talk like that, its her soul you are talking about . Just amagen for a moment that there is a mighty allpowerful God out there. Who will answer before Him if in the end she will go to hell. The answer is you! If I were you, I would not mess with His children.

An omnipotent and omnipresent God would ALREADY KNOW she was going to Hell. And according to the Bible, (1) He holds us responsible for OUR OWN choices, and (2) we are ALL his children.

Thanks for invalidating your own opinion.

Stand by your beliefs. If others hate you for them then they are closed-minded ignorant people that aren’t worth your time. Be outspoken and keep yourself armed with facts to defend your beliefs if the ignorant religious people try tell you you’re wrong crush their tiny delusional minds with your knowledge.

Olya - Just amagen for a moment that there is a mighty allpowerful God out there.

I don’t suppose you can IMAGINE that there is a chance that NO “mighty all powerful god/s” exists???

Who will answer before Him if in the end she will go to hell.

When is the end you’re referring to? And how do YOU know there is a HELL if there is NO proof of any other claims made by religions?

The answer is you! If I were you, I would not mess with His children.

And this, is exactly the reason why Billions of people are to scared to even begin to ask questions, their brains are in a “Hell mode” Actually it is amazing: either they switch to the: “god is love mode” and temporarily love their neighbor OR they switch to the “hell mode/hate mode”: where they hate their neighbor and cast him/her (like their gods would) in hell !!! Strangely and sadly, there is NO balanced “mode” where they are honest to themselves, investigate their own true feelings or believes and real emotions or even TRY to find out and understand others arguments against their believes, see for themselves if claims made could be true, this is a one way street for them! My way or the Highway!

Good idea.

Your beliefs are personal, and they aren’t something you choose. But your friends are. You don’t necessarily have to PROCLAIM that you’re switching teams. If the topic ever comes up in conversation, and you feel comfortable telling a friend(s) family, then do it… if they’re TRULY good friends, they’ll be able to discuss it with you in a casual and particularly CIVIL manner.

If they aren’t… well… don’t tell them… perhaps you should seek out new friends who possess a broader perspective.

Believing in God is an essential for human nature. It is inborn. Human beings always need to believe smt. I don’t think that you don’t believe anything. According to me God’s commands aren’t unreasonable. Fullfulling these make us happy and hold on to life otherwise if everybody thinks like you, life will be meaningless. Anyway it is your choose but before being an atheist I recommend to read the religions history in details and ı am sure that you wont find anything unlogical.

“you can believe me”

Believing in God is an essential for human nature.

…no it isn’t…

It is inborn.

…no it isn’t… a sense of wonder, is NOT synonymous with a belief in God.

Fullfulling these make us happy and hold on to life otherwise if everybody thinks like you, life will be meaningless.

Wow… you’re pretty ignorant.

Anyway it is your choose but before being an atheist I recommend to read the religions history in details and ı am sure that you wont find anything unlogical.

…you’re pretty naive, as well…

you can believe me

…spoken like a true used car salesman…

As a former Christian still living with my Christian family, I have some personal experience with what you’re going through.

I too was afraid of confronting my parents and family about not believing anymore, or rather realizing that I never really believed, just thought I was supposed to.

It turns out when I finally did tell them, they were upset, but not angry at me. Their actions since then have been to try to get me to go to church, and generally ignore what I told them about my beliefs. I’ve talked with lots of others who have gone through this, and usually they say the same thing.

So it’s very likely that your family will do what mine did and think it is sad that you have lost your way and that it is their job to support you and love you so that you eventually “See the Light” again.

They’ll only think you’re a devil-worshipper if you say “I worship the devil.”

As for the comment about not believing in living, I agree with everyone else that you should talk with someone about that if you’re feeling depressed. If you’re jsut feleing afraid and unsure of life and your beliefs, please know that life is all about self-discovery. You will learn so much about yourself as you go through life, and my absolute favorite moments ever are when I have personal epiphanies. I’m not saying I see God or something. I’m saying, I have moments where something I’ve been thinking about for a long time suddenly clicks in my head.

You’ll have those moments too, and they will be wonderful. So if you’re unsure about some things now, that’s perfectly fine. That just means there’s things for you to figure out on the road ahead of you.

Eeps, I think I’m starting to sound preachy. Sorry about that. I was just inspired with memories of my own self-revelations. I wish you all the happiness you can have and hope you find strength in yourself.

Hope that helps. :)

U want be atheist just denied your god and he will denied you. You forget about him and he will forget about and the only thing is left is a sad road full of sins where you’re destined to hell but when you find out it will be too late
