I'm sorry that your dad is like this. He, unfortunately, sounds like so many parents that I've heard about before. (Both of my parents are Atheists, somehow) I hate it when parents are intolerant of their childrens views.

Wow. I'm surprised. That's cool. I'm sure my dad will never leave Christianity but it's not like I'm making him.

My parents are atheists and i am too. I was kinda horrified when my little cuz told me that she believe in god.

I know, so am I. Hopefully he'll eventually stop being the way he currently is.

Would it be feasible for you to live with your grandparents? It sounds like everyone would be happier if you could.

Haha I still love my parents. And my grandparents are just as weird...

Well, as long as you're safe, that's what's most important.
BTW, do you have headphones? You can watch atheists videos without anyone knowing if you use them.

Yeah. Two. I'm just at risk of them wanting to see my screen or the earphones breaking on me.

I know what you mean. I hate people looking over my shoulder even when I'm looking at something completely ordinary.

They think it's okay because they're my parents. Maybe it was a few years ago but I don't know about now. I'm 16 and I don't think I need to be hidden from the world anymore.

There's also library computers. They usually have headphones too. (using one right now.)

It's never easy to challenge the ideology of your family, but for what it's worth I think you handled it very well. You wished to avoid conflict, but did not cower when challenged or dragged in against your will, you fought with reason against dogma. Fear holds millions in a lifetime of silence, but you spoke up, and stuck with it. Without letting your emotions carry you into cruelty.
If only everyone was as mature. It's common for parents to lash out and feel betrayed. Hopefully your father will soften, but know that his feelings are a reflection of his own struggle with his beliefs, they have nothing to do with you.

Thank you. Wow. I never thought I was mature. I really appreciate your comment.
