People don't seem annoyed at my atheist, but my constant rambling about science that they don't understand
I always sit there every couple of minutes and ask "did you know......?". I never run out of interesting facts.
I wish I have a friend like you! Lol nothing is ever interesting when it comes out of my friend's mouth.
What part of the world are you from? I'm in Oklahoma, bible belt so religion is such an important thing.

It didn't work.
the school gave you a bible?

bahaha what a rebel. It's funny because I always refuse to say "under god" as well.

I've been sneaking my iPod into church anyway. I seriously have no idea what's been going on. I might as well not be there at all.
Wow that really sucks. Yeah it should be easier when you are on your own. I had been to a few church service, mainly catholic, and it was the weirdest/strangest thing I have seen. Among it was this ritual in which they were drinking this red liquid that signified the blood of Christ and I'm like.....wtf....you vampires.
