'Saved' from Myself

I said, 'no, I don't believe in god' and she said, 'oh yeah, I have a few other friends that are satanists...'. I said 'well, I don't worship him either....' and the conversation just faded away. Maybe it's easiest to do that.
This, this ignorant fucking bullshit right here is what sends me flying off the goddamned handle. This is why I want to become a part of atheistic activism, this is why I want to educate these ignorant damned people about what it is to be atheist. So many theists believe shit like this about us and I'm so tired of this misrepresentation.

... Gah!!!

RE: 'Saved' from Myself
I am a very transparent person. It's difficult for me to not show my true colors. I am like an open book. I would not be capable of being in a group that shares religion in common, and not say, "Hey, dudes, you really believe that shit?" But that's just me. It's not like I go round picking on people, but if the subject is something spiritual and they are including me in the conversation, you better believe it that I will speak my mind. If the subject is LGBTQ rights, you better believe I will speak my mind. If the subject is Mexican flour tortillas vs. corn tortillas, you better believe I will speak my mind. That's just the way I am. I can't not be me. I can't just be a part of me. I am a whole. The same way I am here, I am around people at meetup and my own family. Davidthegoliath can testify to that. lol. This does make me a weirdo to others, though. They don't appreciate it when they tell me that all I need to do is have faith and everything will get better, and I reply with, "Really? That's odd. I don't believe there is a god, but if there was, what makes me so special compared to the kids around the world that are hungry and not being fed? And... to begin with, how could I pick one of all those gods people have? I mean, ok. If you want to talk gods... " etc... etc. Hence, I created my meetup group where atheists talk shit all they want and nobody hates. It's what had to be done in a place like this.

Anyway, fff... you are such good company that I'm with the others on this. I don't care what you do on your spare time. You're awesome anyway.

Fuck you, fff, you traitor. Your weak 'ooh, swaying hearts and minds' shpiel may fool the hopeless optimists here, but not me, pally. You suck.

...unless....unless, this is some clandestine triple agent type shit you're running. Now that's some next level area of cool right there.

A hearty second on this. Whatever's right for you in your journey, FFF.

And I agree that the level of personal anger is high here, although I can understand it from recent deconverts. It behooves us all to remember that it's just some guy on the internet saying whatever it is, and not to let it make us crazy.

This doesn't bother me. What bothers me is when they exhort me to share their wrong beliefs and then look down their noses at me when I don't.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
