I never understood why nonbelievers take issue bowing ur head. No one ever said u have to believe to respect someone elses belief. Its called respect, and lack of contributes to the negative view ppl have towards nonbelievers. I mean, do yall celebtate christmas, hows it different? No offense to anyones beliefs, just my opinion.

I bowed my head..but due to the damage that religion did to my life...ruined it, in so many aspects, including the death of my son, separation from my family, etc....I cannot respect it. It hurts too bad...

@Realist9 see, i don't know ur personal experience, i was speaking more as a generalization

@RickyAdams yeah, I completely understand. When I first realized that my religion was all fake (and for 30 years, I would have died saying it was real), I thought maybe I could just continue because it was such a clean, safe community...until I realized it wasn't. I now hate it as much or even more than I ever loved it. But I am a good person, and don't want to be disrespectful, so I try not to do anything like make a scene by not bowing my head, since they don't have the understanding..it makes it easier on me, the air is thick enough, LoL.

My sister-in-law and her daughter insisted on saying grace. I just sat there and let them thank their invisible friend in the sky for a meal our parents paid for and our mother prepared.

I love gospel music and eating, so be great full.

I used to love gospel music, but due to the damage that the religious beliefs did to my life...ruined it, in so many aspects, including the death of my son, separation from my family, etc....when i hear it now, it feels like a knife in my chest...When my eyes were opened to the danger of the beliefs, after having put my complete trust in it... I really don't know how I lived through it.

@Realist9 I am so sad that this happened to you. I am not surprised that you feel that way. Take good care of yourself.
