Do you have a faith?

[Sporge27]

I didn't quite feel right with the way the word helped was used, as if being an atheist was a problem.

People get horribly discriminated against for being atheist, it scares people. May be because the thought that someone could willingly think that there is nothing shakes their own belief.

Either way being an atheist is not a problem. Though I feel I more fit agnostic currently, it still offends me a bit that someone could think it a problem. Being an atheist doesn't mean they are immoral, and doesn't mean they have something wrong with them.

I'm an agnostic secular humanist. =J

What?

So you're saying that you'd only believe in what your parents believe in?

I'm saying, if you strongly believe in a religion, why try to let others convince you?

So basically, be closed minded?

More than likely, it wasn't a matter of letting them preach to her, but more along the lines of some of the things they said and did affected her and made her curious about the Christian faith.

What does she mean by "help"?

Maybe she wasn't ready to accept any one religion solidly. So by "help" maybe she means her friends showed her other religions and what they believed in. From what she learned, she chose the one she most agrees with: Christianity.

But that's just what I got from it. I might be totally wrong. :S
