atheism and children

[Exian]

Having heated discussions is actually fairly new to me, and something I learned to be ok with since joining AF. It was a shock to me, but I quickly learned the benefit of it. Often times, tip-toeing to avoid tension will also cause you to avoid the meat of a conversation.

Ugh.

I'm a gentle soul, I don't like it when people are aggressive and rude lol. You can blame my mother for that.

Not sure if that's what you meant by "heated discussions" though, so I may be off base.

Same. Lol

Shit can get pretty haywire here (and I don't mean the friendly disagreement type) and I go through real chemical changes haha Real big pussy.

I had a few JWs come to my door a few weeks back, and I thought "Cool. I'm gonna quiz them and see what they know." The guy mentioned a few things and I played dumb just to see if he knew his stuff, but then the guy was so visibly shaken and stuttering about that I was suddenly thrust into his shoes. I realized that this was just some stranger who believes he needs to walk up to other stranger's houses and talk about God. So I went easy on him, like a big puss.

Either that, or he was so excited that somebody was engaging with him that he got a surge of adrenaline. Haha
