Hi Dark,
I will make several assumptions at this point: (1) That both you and Jennifer are relatively young ladies, (2) that you both still live in the Shoals area, and, (3) that living in the Shoals area, if you WERE to go into a church -- odds are good that there would be many folks there that know you and whom you know -- very likely, many you call friends and neighbors.
Given that, would you REALLY disrupt a Sunday sermon, prayer, etc. -- stand up, and start demanding that the people in the church answer your questions? What I am asking is -- would you really make such a spectacle (others might call it making an ass) of yourself if front of all those folks -- just to make sure that everyone knows you are not a believer?
Would you really have such low respect for your neighbors who do go to church to worship God -- that you would stand, make a spectacle of yourself, and demand answers -- while they are worshiping?
If so, I am sure that some of our Forum Friends living in the Shoals, who work at medical facilities, can recommend a good therapist where you can get psychological counseling.
But, I truly suspect that both you and Jennifer are doing what "youth combined with atheism" might cause -- posturing, huffing, and puffing. I do not believe that either of you are of such low class, such low character, that you would really do this. Therefore, it must be only posturing for the Religion Forum crowd.
God bless, have a wonderful, blessed day,
Bill

So are you saying that if I ask questions and voiced my views it would be considered disruptive? Wow...so what are you supposed to do in church? Sit there and just keep silent, don't ask questions, if you don't believe then you are supposed to just pretend to believe? Have I got that right?
If that is true then I guess I would choose jail. Well honestly I guess it would depend how much time I would have to serve. If I was facing a long time away from my family and friends then I would probably pretend to go along with whatever insanity is required to stay out of jail. That is really a choice of the lessor of two evils. Hopefully in the free, democratic, secular nation of the USA that will never be something I will have to experience.
