Ex-theists are often like ex-smokers, sanctimonious and insufferable.

RE: Ex-theists are often like ex-smokers, sanctimonious and insufferable.
And you know I have empathy for that. I recognize that the efforts made by my parents to shackle my mind to the bible were relatively benign and altogether ineffective. But I just don't see why people insist on proselytizing non belief onto others. Answer questions? Sure. Laugh at Bill Maher and George Carlin styled religious jokes? I'm in. But hold every individual theist responsible for all the damage religion has ever done? Nope. Mock, belittle and harangue them for their own good? Count me out.

Adults get treated as peers by me so long as they stand ready to do the same. People don't have to agree with me to get respect. They just have to be respectful, and that doesn't mean pious.
