17. I am a closet agnostic of sorts..

My family is quite religious although very tolerant. My sister is a Christian and although I have told her she seems to not hear it. She still asks me to pray for things. I tell her I will to make her feel better but I do not pray.
My brother is a Buddhist and he knows but does not mention it.
Even my dear husband doesn't seem to get it. He thinks I am just "angry" with god because of deaths of many family in a short amount of time. ( literally half of my immediate family has died) He thinks I'll "get over it" and forgive god later.

Its kind of hard to come out when people ignore or choose not to believe you....

I think there are more of us then they think.

I am an agnostic instead of an atheist because I am always open to proof that god exists but I have heard or seen nothing to change my mind.
