This isn't the place to come look for help with personal problems.

its in off topic

Because you have a different opinion/view, and therefore you suck.[/badthinking]

Why is this called "Problems with teens"?

 

[Edmund]

Teens have bad thinking a lot of times. I'm a teen and it's disgraceful to get bad **** like this. I'm Catholic and would like it if you'd believe but you have free will and stuff. As long as you aren't saying "**** THE CHURCH" they shouldn't be bothered and the Church teaches being open to everyone. (By 'Church' I mean the Catholic Church so yeahhh sorry if it's not Catholics you are referring to.)

Well, you're probably not giving us all the details.

If they found out you're an atheist because you stood up and gave them a speech about how Christianity was stupid, then yeah, they'd probably not like you after that.

If they found out you were an atheist on the same day you ruined the senior party (even though they were separate events), that might be the issue.

For all we know, they hate your grammar.

 

[ChrisBird]

Just ignore them. Just know that you are entitled to youur opinion and on the topic of religion there is no right and wrong.

 

[4Chan]

Hate them back with twice the malice.

I'm agnostic and yet accused (jokingly) of being an atheist by one of my friends who is Christian. I'm not religious, it's just how I am. In fact I worship George Carlin

/b/'s methods rarely work in real life.

If they've been influenced to be closed-minded and think that atheists are terrible people and hate you solely for that, then you have little reason to care what they think of you.

'Fundies', I'm guessing, are the majority in your area. They tend to be pretty intolerant to the religious views of others.

 

[bwatkins]

it seems odd that people would hate you just because of your views. Did perhaps you present the idea in a way that would be offensive? If so then this all makes sense.

The best thing to do in this situation is to treat them with respect. Chose wisely how you respond to their actions.

I personally believe that Judeo-Christian religious teachings and texts are a ridiculous waste of time and effort that could be spent repairing our planet.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?

[Re: Disney/Pixar's The Incredibles]

I disagreed with the lying from the husband, the lady (almost a main character) who dresses enticingly (I know people who’ve been delivered from pornography and adultery who I hope don’t see this movie for the sake of them and the generational sin that could tempt their children). I totally disagreed with the “darn you!” in the parents' argument—power in our words—kids repeating this?! I disagreed with the “flexible” sexual innuendo, the suicide attempt (later having to explain this to a child?) and tell me why the baby had to turn into a firebaby then a devilbaby? It was ugly and made my spirit feel uncomfortable. I don’t know why it was rated PG, but I am glad it wasn’t rated G. There is a lot of violence for small kids and would probably cause my nieces and nephew to have nightmares.

These people expect the world to be daisies and love!

[Disney's The Little Mermaid]

I recently re-watched it and was absolutely appalled. To start with, the whole thing is based on Greek mythology, with Ariel's father King Triton based on Triton, a Greek god. Why should any Christian child watch a movie with a 'good' character who is based on a demonic being?

So automatically every other religion is now "demonic"?!?!?! And of course he is based on the Greek God! It makes sense to name him after someone who is godly and rules the sea as well! (wait a second, wasn't Poseidon the lord of the Sea? Oh well.)

There are way more of these accusations. It's hilarious. (check the URL on post 13.)

I'm an athiest to, by that I mean don't believe god, life after death or any spiritual stuff.
I don't know why they would hate you from that, everyone there must be religous or something.
Not many people at my school are religous, every now and then if something gets brought up about religeon, evolution, big bang and the like, I'll have my say.
Teenagers can be real losers, I think they might even be the lamest of people. Just like everything else, you get good ones and you can get bad ones.

Really funny video, but inappropriate (curse words) at 2:08 and beyond.

Also after I saws Rowes single I'm converting to hesslerism.

 

[Muesli]

I don't believe in believing in anything. I don't like being told what to do, especially by people who refuse to accept evidence. I'm not going to try and stop other people though, as that just causes problems.
