About Me:
Yes, I am a teenager. No, that does not make my beliefs any more invalid than yours. I am an atheist. I fail to see why my age seems to affect how others perceive me and my beliefs. I am not uneducated, I am not immature, please stop implying that the beliefs I've held since I first learned about religion are "just a phase."
I joined this community not to try to talk people into my beliefs, but to attempt to educate. I am atheistic. This does not mean I am too stubborn or too short-sighted to believe in a higher being. It does not mean I am simply under educated and need your guidance. Because I don't believe what you believe is not a reason to criticize me, persecute me, or scream at me in public that I will burn in Hell. I know not to stereotype. I know very few people act at all like this. I also know that some people are. Regardless of how badly they treat me, I would still like to talk to them. To understand them. I don't want them to hate me. I refuse to hate them. I continue to hold out for the compromise and peace that seems perpetually out of reach.
My Favorite Quote or Motto:"I don't want to escape the plantation. I want to come back, free all my people, hang the motherfucker that kept me there, and burn the house to the goddamn ground."
