People assuming you believe in a God
#30
RE: People assuming you believe in a God
At first I thought, nah, I've never been mistaken for a theist, but then I remembered one day at work a year or so ago, some older woman at my work was filling out a financial aid application and I was helping people with it when they had trouble, and when she finished, she asked me if I thought "god would come through for her" on it, and I said I don't believe in that kind of thing. She stared at me for a second, as if she couldn't even process the idea that there were such things as unbelievers, and she asked me, "Then who do you think put the breath in you?" Clearly not an evolutionary biologist, that one. It was irritating for me because I didn't have an opportunity to explain things to her and I really wanted to shake her worldview and introduce new concepts to her, but I would guess at her age it would never take.
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.
