I just don't get it
#9
RE: I just don't get it
I was raised in a household where God wasn't a factor. Never went to church until I was seven, when Mom decided it would be "good for you". We got up on Sunday morning, my brother and I, and went to the church down the block for Sunday School. Mom stayed in bed. Hey, it was Sunday morning, after all. I went three weeks before they sent a note home asking that I not come back. The Noah story had made me ask questions they didn't like. Since then, fifty-eght years have passed without religion intruding in any important fashion into my private life. I would say, if asked, "I'm not religious enough to call myself an atheist."

But you're here! Yeah, and "Expelled, No Intelligence Allowed" caused me to realize that the opposition, the fanatically religious, were not living like I was.
