A friendly female muslim
April 4, 2010 at 8:39 am
A week ago a middle aged muslim lass moved into the street and she asked for some help moving the fridge inside and fixing the broken fence gate. Me and my old man gladly offered to help. After moving the very heavy fridge into the kitchen and fixing the gate she gave us easter eggs. She offered to pay us for the work but my dad said "no that's ok, we are happy to help". Soon after, the discussion about religion came into play. She asked what our beliefs were and we both said "atheist". She said "very good! I can't stand christians or fanatic muslims." We both smiled. She then went on to say "I think christians need to keep their arrogant mouths shut and muslim fanatics should be nuked" me and my dad smiled and agreed. She was very happy that she had atheists as neighbors. We told her that we are due to move back to harlow and that our entire family are atheists.
She is very friendly and she hates religious freaks more than we do. Quite amazing. This is one theist I can get along with very well. She mocks christianity alot and me and my dad are always joining in. Great fun.

Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.

It's really nice to meet people like that. Its good that she can see the wrong in both sides and not biased towards one religion, as many other religious nuts are.

Women get the short end of the stick from all the Angry Desert God religions. Glad she can see that.

This is all an act to get you to convert to Islam, Ace! She'll lure you in with trash talk about religion and sooner than you think, you'll be doing honour killings in Allah's name.

So... she's going to somehow convince me to abandon science, logic and reason by convincing me to believe blindly without evidence in the existance of a highly improbable being where I join a nutcase religion where I'll end up taking inoccent lives in a very selfish act for my own personal gain in the hopes of a blissful afterlife that is nothing more than wishful thinking? Uh-huh.

Right now where was I? Oh yea, that's just stupid.

You don't actually think she can convert me now do ya? It would take strong scientific support for me to sway even a little. I'm extremely skeptical and very stubborn. I have heard about the tacs they use to try and convert but, it'll never work on me. For me, without scientific evidence, it's beyond impossible to even get my attention. Claims without scientific details = no interest.
I don't do baseless claims. Anyway, a hint of contradiction in any claim would only make me even more skeptical. Theists actually played a role in me becoming an atheist. They couldn't get their stories right and nor could they provide details or evidence.

I know one particular Christian who is like this woman too. She can't stand fanatics. She does have the gall to tell me I'm not an atheist every chance she gets, though.
