Opening up Options

Even though I've been raised mostly Baptist, I've come to the conclusion that I'm agnostic. And after being tired of faking being a Christian, I put that I was agnostic under the "religion" section on my myspace. Well, its only been a few hours, and I've already had a bajillion of my friends message me, wanting to know why the hell I'm not this, and why I'm that. And now my sister knows, and has told my mom... and now all hell is about to break out.

So, ever confess, or tell someone you were close to that you believe differently than they thought you did? How did you come out about it, and how did it go over?

Eh, I'm a pretty blunt person. I usually don't talk Religion or Politics with strangers, because they tend to take me in a harsh way. I know what I believe and I hate it when people try to change me. I'll listen to what you have to say, and all I ask is that you do the same. Honestly, I really don't care what people think about. I know that makes me sound like a bitch but it's true, I don't let my religious beliefs get in the way of who I am as a person. I honestly think that if someone's going to say "Oh you're not of my faith I don't like you" I wouldn't want to be friends with them. There's a few people in my school like that.

I think that as long as you are honest with your parents, and show them that you believe what you believe but you're not letting it get in the way of how you are as a person that should stick out to them. Depending on how they are, it might take them a while to get used to the fact.
