you know where this is going, right? or you think you do.
why is my ex my ex? why do we have this beautiful child:
&, yet, we are not together, happily making more beautiful babies and planning a future.
why, you ask? i'll tell you why: because i am an atheist.
yup. i believe in one fewer gods than 89% of the world's population & that makes me undeserving of love.
after almost a year of trying to repair a beyond damaged relationship he finally told me the truth. isn't that something? i told him i was an atheist well before our child was conceived. well before it was too late to back out & run like hell. so why now?
why the fuck does it matter now? why can't we still be together? he can go to church every Sunday (which he doesn't). he can read the bible (which he doesn't). he can pray (which i've never seen him do). he listened to gospel music once but i put my headphones on...but other than that, i will support him in his religious endeavors 100%. but no. that's not good enough.
i'm a good mother, a good person, i'm funny, smart, polite, hygienic, great in bed [citation needed] ....but i am not good enough.
not good enough. (read that again)
i am not good enough because i don't believe in something that NO ONE has proof for. (not the religious definition of proof but the scientific one.)
you know what else i don't believe in? unicorns.
but i'm never judged on that. why? because unicorns aren't real. no one has seen one. there's no proof that they've ever existed. so why is it not ok that i don't believe in god for those same reasons?
why is my lack of belief not respected & held in the same regard as his belief? why do people hate atheists so much?
and why am i not good enough?
