I am not saying I was shunned, I said that because, at least in New York, of you aren't an atheist/agno, you aren't human.What an incredible grievance, is this a law on the books that I'm unaware of...or is this just you kvetching about a perceived but imaginary sleight?
Quote:You should have seen my bio class, half the year everyone made fun of me for being a theist.I doubt that. In the most generous assessment, this is likely a lie of omission. You probably got made fun of for saying some stupid shit necessitated by your particular brand of theism. Had you been an atheist and said whatever stupid shit you said....you'd have been made fun of just the same.
Quote:He left atheism, and he went to christianity
So what, happens all the time. IIRC, he "left islam" before that. I suppose, if the past is any indicator, a sufficiently compelling pagan apologist might come along and he;ll have "left christianity".
-and?
This means absolutely nothing to me, I don;t run some club...I;m not counting members. I'm not an evangelist, or an advocate. People join and leave and rejoin religions with considerable regularity. None of it matters much to me. I don;t give the slightest of shits about what people believe, only how those beliefs lead to action...and what action those beliefs lead to. As far as I;m concerned, peoples "beliefs" in external gods are little more than a front for their own internal motivations.
