very beautiful story, Ephemeral. At least the muslims who were around can understand and not hate you for your beliefs. A few muslims I know shat brix when I told them I'm an atheist.
Thank you Moe, glad SOMEONE appreciates it

Yes, I know there are others who wouldn't appreciate it. Those are people I stay away from, not because I'm scared but because talking to them would be like talking to a wall. Are you out to your parents? And do you live with them still?
