Sorry Boru - I didn't mean for that to be a reply to your post. Got distracted and hit the wrong button, apparently!

I hate it when the Jehova Witnesses' who knock on my door forget to give me their baby for a blood sacrifice.
Religious nuts who think they have the right to undermine not just their own, but other peoples' kids' education, by pushing their religious beliefs into schools.
Happens even here. Had an argument online with a Kiwi guy who insisted Christianity should be taught in schools because, "All kids should be allowed to hear the word of god" Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni: "You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???" RE: As an atheist, what angers you?

I remember my own school days when religious courses were still part of the curriculum. Still are, far as I know. The difference being, noone sneaked up to you. Your parents could opt you out of that course at any time. Once you turned 16, you could do it yourself. Which I did, out of principle. But I still attended the course, since the teacher holding it was the only teacher I fully respected. So I exchanged having an hour for myself to listening and discussing with that elderly guy, who talked to us not about the bible, but things like ethics, politics and social issues. WWII veteran and sole survivor of his company, which made him hate war with a vengeance. He's probably long dead by now, but I still extend my fullest respect to him. He never did anything to hook us on christianity, but was always there to listen and to hear our opinions on any given matter.
Bullshit in general.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Lol allowed? Like we could stop God talking to someone? It's weird how much power we're granted sometimes. Feel free to send me a private message.

Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
Angers ?
the instant a christer invokes even one jot or tittle from Leviticus about gays and is not observing all 600+ strictures himself. We need to start dropping such twits en masse into log chippers. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

"Don't tell X you're an atheist."
Why not? X can go *#$& himself.
