RE: I called a friend who is a believer...

Weirdly, in America, it seems that religious people like those from other religions more than atheists... even though the people from other religions often think they are going to hell, and deserve it, whereas atheists think no such thing.

The problem with this person, and it's a common one, is not able to separate themselves from their beliefs. They can't help but take it personally. It's entirely their issue. I find it a lot, I am insulting Jesus or God, yet someone I'm not even talking to decides to get offended.

I mean, if someone was badmouthing one of my friends, I'd be upset on my friend's behalf. But I wouldn't be personally offended, because it's got nothing to do with me. However, if my friend had super powers and ruled the universe, I would think he could take care of himself and a few insults aren't going to phase him. Offense seems to imply either "god" needs protecting, or else "god" is actually just part of the person themselves, hence personal. (Of course, it's the second, in my opinion.)
