An atoll, sometimes called a coral atoll, is a ring-shaped coral reef including a coral rim that encircles a lagoon partially or completely. There may be coral islands/cays on the rim. The coral of the atoll often sits atop the rim of an extinct seamount or volcano which has eroded or subsided partially beneath the water.

I personally am a-okay with identifying as an atheist. I had a really bad relationship with the idea of God as a child. Mostly I feared him... love and worship me or I'll punish you for eternity, because I love you. That in itself made me want to do the opposite out of spite, even if that meant an eternity of burning in hell.

Yu seem to have turned out alright so far - although there is still Hell to pay ( ... )

That whole morality thing really gets to me. When a Christian asks me how society will be able to stay moral without the fear of God, I ask them, "You mean that if you didn't fear God, you would start raping, stealing, and killing people? Is God the only thing that stops you from doing those things? Seeing how I don't fear God, why am I not doing those things?"

I do love Judas Priest. Part of that though is because it's so forbidden. That's one great thing about being raised Advent Christian. It was so easy to be rebellious. All I had to do was listen to certain types of music, read certain books, play with tarot cards or ouiji boards and those sort of things. I didn't have to do anything actually bad to be bad haha.

# 1 - I absolutely agree. Christians who think that way are still reptiles, in saintly clothes. Make me barf.

# 2 - Rebelling for its own sake can be a problem - especially if it might be a trapdoor built by the Adventists to keep in you close - "keep your enemies close..."

Really, I don't see too many people coming out of dysfunctional religious families who don't carry some of that shit forward, even if they change the names of the ideologies. This is not a commentary on you cuz I don't know shit about you pretty much.

Judas Priest is fine. So is Jesus and Mary Chain Gang and Marylin Manson and Skinny Puppy and White Snake and bring it on...
