  You're only an ATHEIST because of the abusive relationship you had with your former religion..?

  the few times that i've had a chat about my atheism, i usually get a response like the one above.

  "well, seeing how you were in a cult- i can understand why you're an atheist now," just dismissing the bulk of the reasons i have for my disbelief.. i think what is particularly awkward about someone telling me this is- it's part way true- only part way though.

  however, they stop listening after i explain to them that, "yes, being in a cult was an impetus to my search" and they fail to hear the rest of what i'm saying and believe that i went from point a to point f and just skipped all the steps and months of research in between out of some kind of anti-jw tantrum.

  so recently, i've had this urge to write to my father.

  i couldn't quite pinpoint why i would try when i know he wouldn't read it and we aren't even that close.. over the years, before i left, my father and i could not relate to each other and we quit trying.

  he was always so busy writting and preparing for talks.

  like a creep, i've popped out of nowhere and i've been throwing my 2 around all over this forum.

  i'm sorry it's such a long post.

  i hesitated and delayed writing it knowing it'd be long.
