I had (very) close relatives that told me I was going to hell, before I ever became an agnostic...when I questioned the real Jesus and other ideas. Actually, I was always questioning...which lost me friends and family. Once (but not the only time she told that I was going to hell.) my oldest granddaughter and her self-appointed preacher husband attempted to verbally attack me (and save my soul at the same time) over a story that I told my g-granddaughter! That...Jesus if he existed, inspired people, and did not perform miracles like reported in the Bible! It was a terrible sight and I hope one day the memory of what they put me through, comes clear (as it should) about how their actions were so hurtful.

I have been told that. I suspect I was also pushed out of a job due to my agnosticism.

You'd have to define "discriminated against". I've met women who would not accept an invitation to go out because I was atheist, but as far as I know I've not suffered any other ramifications.

I was told twice Friday last - 'speak of the Devil'. my response was 'At your service.' so where the hell should I be?

It’s been awhile Anymore, it appears I’m leaving them convinced there ‘isn’t one’ Militant, when such militancy wasn’t cool - ‘we’ve had our moments!’

You mean we're not there now with the orange devil vampire??

I believe the current pope said that there is no hell anymore so those people are way out of date.

Good question!
