What is wrong with being Southern Baptist? As long as you believe in something, I see nothing Wrong. I was raised Southern Baptist, but now I believe in evolution, and reincarnation. It is the fact that you believe, don't let others try to tell you that you are not worthy of a friendship because you have different beliefs. That is not right, an if that is how they feel, then you don't need friends like that anyways.

Being raised by parents who believe in the Christian God, or Quetzalcoatl, or Mumbo Jumbo God of the Congo, is the oldest form of brainwashing. A majority of atheists have survived the experience, simply because believers are still the majority.

No need for forgiveness, lol. I also was raised/brainwashed baptist. I'm glad for your new found freedom from the chains of religion. :-)

What did you do that is, as you say, silly? I was raised, and still am a Roman Catholic, however, I do say that it's a great religion, because, no matter what you do, as long as you go to confession, you will still go to heaven!!
On serious note, when you lie on your deathbed, you only regret the things that you haven't done, not the things you have!

I am not athiest, but non-Christian.
I am certain that they are all very happy that you overcame your fear of God to accept YOUR truth.
I firmly believe that Athiests are far more able to perceive truth than others because their perceptions are not clouded by faith or judgement--"mysterious" happenings are inmvestigated and either resolved or acccepted that, at this time, man's abilities and technology are unable to ascertain the cause of such things, but will be able to in the future. Mystic happenings are accepted, and rightly so, as rare but natural phenomena.

i was to but i surely believe in God. not the southern baptist or holiness, or Pentecostal, or what ever you want to call them. i am a child of God, not religion. believe on him and none other. the church really screwed up a lot of us but i realized that it wasn't the church that was important, it was God.
blessed be,
Elizabeth

Got better?
Leaving God, if that's what you mean, isn't silly. It's tragic.
