And what's sad is that a lot of us fall for it and when we meet an atheist we have a preconceived distrust about what they say or do.
I know, there is so much stigma attached to the word "atheist", I can understand the reluctance to go the full mile.
Most people (I'm not saying you) misunderstand the term quite violently and think it is saying more than it is. I hope that in the future, people will all be better educated and won't mentally substitute atheist with Nazi or satanist.
Maybe you'll find my article about the word useful, click here. Also, screaming at "God" has been theraptic for some people. Call him all the names you can think of, and dare him to strike you down. It's worked for some people, when you come to realize that if there's anyone listening, they aren't interested. If it would be helpful, or even just amusing, I'd be happy to do a video of myself doing this first!
(Fucking angry atheists!)
I think it's about time that the FFRF and the Christian representatives of the country got together to discuss and deal out the differences.
