Is it normal for me to live a lie if it benefits me?

My father is a overly religious man with old school values. I will inherit my fathers home and close to a million dollars when my father passes away( I hope he never dies). I'm atheist and bisexual, but my family thinks I'm straight. I pretend to believe in God and go to church. If he ever found out that I was an atheist bisexual, I'd be cutt off from the will. One of my brothers will inherit nothing because he openly worships Satan, and has openly experimented with other men. I have a good job, but if something were to go wrong, I will be able to fall back on the extra cash. Should I continue to live a lie if it benefits me? Is it normal?

    Lieing isn't a good thing, but in this case, I would most likely do the same.

    i think that your father should love you for who you are, and if he is that religious then he should..... there is never a reall right time to say it but i think you should tell him, because your brother did it (even though he gets no money) maybe your father will come to his sences and realise that the way he is acting is stupid (no offence to your father!)

      I just cannot do it. He is a very stubborn dude. He thinks everything he does and believes is right. If he disagrees with someone, he tries to force his beliefs in down their throats.

    Can't you distance yourself from them and still pretend to be a straight christian?

        Don't feel guilty. Do you think they believe that you're straight? If not, then you're going to have to make a "character" out of your charade. Get one of your female friends to pretend that you two are dating,etc.

          . I had a girlfriend until my pedophilic brother stole her. Even without a girl, they think I'm straight. The putting on an act thing with a female friend seems like a good idea though. Thank you.

    It's normal, sure, but do you really want to live a lie for your entire life? You might be happier if you decide to be true to yourself.

      That is some smart advice. But it's not an option. My other brother is going to get cut out of the will as well(he did something unforgivable) My father is giving me my brothers share of money.

    Are you able to keep up until your father dies?
