Actually, I don't think I ever did.
I still remember the arrogant comments I received from a certain theist on these very boards when responding to my time in Sierra Leona with MSF, "It was likely you heard god's voice in your mind stirring you to help... (paraphrased).
So, once again, we see that "god" gets the credit for anything good that we do (apparently atheists as well), but anything bad we do is because of our own rebelliousness.
Let me just reiterate now, what I said then: Fucking idiot!
Playing Cluedo with my mum while I was at Uni:
"You did WHAT? With WHO? WHERE???"
