I have a moral dilemma going on. I'm 22, used to go to church as a youngin' and I haven't gone in a long time. Honestly i'm not even sure if I am a believer or not. I'm mostly a skeptic, kinda atheist if I were to be honest, at least until something makes me believe.
However I recently moved to a small town with a population of 500. I didn't attend school here, I don't participate in any activities, and frankly it's about time I find some friends around here. My boyfriend and I live together and we're unmarried, obviously sexually active etc. I smoke, drink, and I am a full time cam girl. It seems like the only place around here to find friends is the local church, and i'm honestly scared to death of going in fear of being a hypocrite, seeing as I'm living a very sinful life in most believers eyes.
I can't be honest about what I do with my new friends if I find any at all, and honestly I don't know if I can handle a friendship without coming clean about what I do. I'd hate to ruin my reputation here in regards to what I do.
Any advice input etc would be appreciated. I hope someone out there understands where I am coming from. I feel isolated here because coming clean to anyone at all could be the end of anyone at all accepting me here in this town.
